Emerson is Mrs. Googol-Plex’s first dyslexic student, but his disability only amplifies the importance of what she teaches in math: that calling numbers by their correct place value names is an essential part of learning the concepts behind solving math problems. When children understand these concepts, whether or not they have a disability like Emerson’s, they can apply them in ways that allow them to explore mathematics with creativity and confidence. This manual offers insight into instructing children in multiplication using these methods.
