In special education, we make content approachable by teaching hands-on, multisensory (using smell, touch, taste) lessons. This is important for LD (learning disabled), ADHD (attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder) and CI (cognitively impaired) students. From 25 years teaching, I say it's essential for all students. Activities with food are ideal. Here are math lessons using pizza, for kids in preschool to middle school. Expand some concepts with paper and pencil, but use some real food. Kids sometimes misbehave because they're hungry. Teaching with food meets two objectives: making content easier to visualize and improves receptivity to learning.Teaching Math with Pizza: Numbers, Operations, Fractions, Ratios, ProportionsTeaching Math with Pizza: Numbers, Operations, Fractions, Ratios, Proportions
