📝 ORTON-GILLINGHAM INFORMED DESIGN:

Each worksheet follows the Build→Draw→Name multisensory routine, helping students move from concrete manipulation to abstract reasoning — the same structured, sequential principles of Orton-Gillingham literacy applied to mathematics.

✏️ HOW TO USE:

1. Read the word problem aloud

2. Mark key information and the question

3. Build the problem using manipulatives or the workspace

4. Draw a visual model

5. Name the operation and strategy
