1 Hour

Watch Webinar
Math can be beautiful, and it is the foundation of our modern world. However, math can be difficult (or even scary) for students, including learners with disabilities. Bring access to the elegance of math for any learner with the concrete‑visual‑abstract sequence (CVA), a research‑based framework for instruction!

In this webinar you’ll learn how to:

  • Evaluate the benefits and challenges of CVA
  • Learn the seven steps to plan and implement a mathematical unit using CVA
  • Garner practical application of CVA beginning with use of manipulatives and leading to written notation
