Your Child Can Catch Up or Get Ahead in Mathematics!

Australia, Learning Centers, Math

Whether your child experienced learning loss this school year or has always struggled with numeracy, we can help, no matter their age or previous struggle.

Our unique evidence-based approach develops the sensory-cognitive foundation for numeracy. Students experience growth in the skills assessed on the NAPLAN and become more confident in school mathematics.

Mathematics is cognitive processing, or thinking, that requires both imagery and language. Imagery is fundamental to the process of thinking with numbers. We teach students how to visualize and verbalize the underlying concepts. 

The On Cloud Nine® Math program emphasizes both computation and problem-solving.  Explore our math instruction, including Learning Center results, here.

Winter Holiday Learning is live online or in person. 

Just like our in-center instruction, our virtual instruction is 100% live and face-to-face.

Lindamood-Bell Can Be Your Virtual Teaching Coach

For Schools, Online, Professional Development

 

For years, Lindamood-Bell has partnered with schools to provide quality professional development in our programs. We are happy to offer the lower cost and convenience of telepresence coaching without compromising results for students.

 

Watch teachers providing virtual instruction with the Seeing Stars program.

 

 

After a genuine Lindamood-Bell workshop, live coaching is available. Lindamood-Bell instruction experts, via online video conference, provide program step demonstrations with students, for the benefit of teacher learning. We provide suggestions and feedback to help improve teacher effectiveness. Having an expert “on-site” is an invaluable opportunity for teachers to ask questions about the program steps in real-time.

 

Results from an online reading camp demonstrate a promising model to replicate. By receiving Seeing Stars instruction over four weeks this summer, students made substantial gains correlating to nearly a year’s worth of grade-level growth in key reading skills.
