Visualizing Math

I was a late bloomer when it came to speech and writing. When it came to talking all I did was grunt and groan until I was five and a half years old, that’s when my parents were in a car accident with me in the back seat on our way home from Florida. After the car accident nobody could stop me from speaking. 


When I was in Grade 4 I still used my fingers while puzzling over a math question. When my Math teacher seen this she was not pleased and sent me to the special education room as I was deemed below grade level by the Math teacher for using my fingers in math class. That night I was afraid because the only way I could do math was with my fingers and now I was told to stop. The next day I had math again and I looked at the page and there was a number 4, then it hit me. I could picture four dots over top of the 4 like the dice in the game trouble. that’s when I started thinking, I could do this for all numbers. 


Since that day I have been doing math in my head visualizing each number as dice. This book will explain how this is possible and how your able to teach this with your student, child or maybe even use this method for yourself.
