🔍 What You’ll Learn
Helping students master fractions can be a challenge, especially for those with learning differences. This webinar, Solving Fraction Frustration: Strategies Teachers and Parents Can Use to Build Strong Fraction Foundations, is designed to give parents and educators practical tools and strategies to make fractions more accessible and engaging. Participants will discover how to strengthen fraction understanding through research-based methods that work for both general education and special education settings.
✅ Join us to:
-
Learn how to teach fractions using concrete, representational, and abstract (CRA) models that build true understanding rather than memorization.
-
Explore the importance of fraction vocabulary and language, with strategies to prevent and correct common misconceptions.
-
Gain practical tools and collaborative approaches for teachers, special education teams, and interventionists to support all learners in building their fraction foundation.
Whether you’re a classroom teacher, homeschool parent, or support staff, this webinar is designed to give you practical tools you can use immediately—no extra curriculum required.
🎁 Live attendees will also be entered into a giveaway, and all registrants will receive access to the replay.
🤔WHO IS THIS WEBINAR FOR?
🧩Math Teachers and Interventionists
Your school has chosen a curriculum—but it doesn’t quite fit your Tier 3 students. We’ll show you how to adjust instruction using research-informed methods that actually work for students who learn differently.
📚Special Education
You know that writing IEPs is just the beginning. You want your students to meet those goals—and we’ll share how to do that with targeted, research-informed math strategies and interventions.
🏡Parents
You want to move at your child’s pace, not a textbook’s. In this webinar, you’ll gain tools and confidence to teach math in a way that makes sense for your learner’s unique brain—no curriculum script required.

Meet Heather
>Heather Brand, the Operations Manager at Made for Math, has over 20 years of experience in education, beginning her career in the classroom and tutoring prior to that.
Early on, she noticed that about a fifth of her students didn’t respond as expected to traditional school curriculums, a pattern she observed even when transitioning to teaching in gifted education—including with her own child.
This discovery sparked her passion for understanding dyslexia, neurodiversity, and the science of reading. Heather became a trained reading interventionist through Neuhaus and achieved remarkable success in helping students overcome reading challenges.
Motivated to find a similar approach for math, she discovered Made for Math and became a trained practitioner in Marilyn Zecher’s Multisensory Math. Heather’s expertise and dedication continue to transform the learning experiences of neurodiverse students.
