Transform from Ruler to Rainbow Number Line to Unlock the Dilemmas of Learning Mathematics

Overview
Students with special educational needs face various developmental challenges. For instance, those with visual-spatial processing difficulties often struggle to grasp abstract mathematical relationships. To address this cognitive gap, this teaching team has designed a new set of multisensory toolkit – the Rainbow Number Line System. This integrated framework connects measurement concepts that were traditionally taught in isolation. Using ‘START / END’ gates and counting cubes helps students to concretise abstract concepts of space and quantity. Through repeated using of similar tools, generalisation skill can be transferred to other topics. The speakers' team has developed a whole new set of electronic themed textbooks and has embedded AI technology, e-learning platform and values education into the E-book.
