Treatment of Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

The psychologysays blog provides an overview of dyscalculia and has a slightly different take on the treatment:

In the medium term it is known to be associated with psychological problems such as low self-esteem or the onset of symptoms of depression. However, dyscalculia can be treated from psychological and psychoeducational work. For this, it is necessary to carry out a process of cognitive restructuring linked to the use of basic mathematics and self-concept. In this way, the fundamentals of mathematics are taught without which one cannot progress, and at the same time ideas that hinder learning, such as the belief that numbers do not exist, are rejected.

Boost that number sense

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

A resource of no less than 180 days of Number Sense routines for grades 1 to 5

These slide decks contain 180 days of Number Sense Routines for grades 1-5 (a unique set for each grade!). The files are organized into 20-day sets. The first 20 days have the same routine two days in a row with the first day designed for the teacher and the students to learn how to use the routine and then followed with a second day of the same routine (different prompt) to reinforce what was learned the day prior. Days 21-180 have the nine routines randomly spread across the slides.
