FUNCTIONAL MATHEMATICS

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

See the research done by Dr. Jeewan Jyoti about

FUNCTIONAL MATHEMATICS: PROBLEMS
AND INTERVENTION OF DYSCALCULIC
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

RESULTS

  1. There is no significant difference between the scores of Pre-test and Post-test on dyscalculic VIIIth grade students
    with regard to functional mathematics dimension.
  2. There is a significant impact of the Intervention Program on the mathematical performance of dyscalculic
    VIIIth grade students on mathematical disability: Functional mathematics.
  3. The trend in the means for Pre-test (9.66) and for the Post-test (14.66) shows that intervention program improved
    the performance of VIIIth grade student in Post-test as compared to Pre-test scores on functional mathematics
    dimension.

Spatial reasoning in early childhood

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

See the interesting article about how important the spatial reasoning along with mathematical modeling is in early childhood.

Curriculum should include ways to promote spatial reasoning through mathematical modeling to develop students’ conceptual understandings .
Mathematical tasks should include both traditional and nontraditional equations
The use of mathematical modeling should connect through a progression
of enactive models, iconic models, and formal, symbolic models. Iconic models are
one way to introduce spatial reasoning tasks and can be integrated throughout the
instructional year to increase students’ flexibility with the structure of equations
and mathematical competency.

Parents can assess numeracy

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Yes new research has shown that parents can assess numeracy but are not so great when it gets down to rating the actual cognitive skills. Yet this is important research as it shows us a way to be able to assess numeracy in large groups of children when other means of researching them in a timely matter would not be available.
