Posted on by

1. Understand Dyscalculia

Learn about dyscalculia, its signs, and how it affects learning. This builds empathy and helps you offer tailored support. Read about the signs of dyscalculia for more insight.

2. Use Visual Aids

Incorporate visual tools like number lines, charts, or coloured blocks. These help children better visualise and understand numbers.

3. Break Down Tasks

Simplify math problems into smaller, manageable steps. This reduces overwhelm and builds confidence.

Fixing Dyscalculia with an Arduino

Posted on by

Dyscalculia, a significant obstacle in the mastery of mathematics that affects the understanding and application of numerical concepts, is the focus of this project. Using Arduino, an interactive calculator designed to address this challenge in mathematical learning is explicitly developed. The project seeks to provide an educational tool for children with dyscalculia, allowing them to enter numbers and operations and receive feedback through an LED display. Inspired by the importance of creativity in education, the project seeks to cultivate imagination in the mathematical learning process, citing Einstein and Ken Robinson as referents of this philosophy. The project aims to address dyscalculia from a perspective that recognizes the importance of action and diversity of skills in mathematical learning.
