Dyscalculia; News from the web:
Today a very basic but important and easy to watch video on the Teacherstube with an introduction, prepared by the Dyscalculia forum people.
The video is about 5 years old when we post it but it still retains its important message.

Dyscalculia; News from the web:
One of the better websites to go to for information and resources is the site from dr Anna Wilson, a researcher and scientist who continues to work tirelessly to bring awareness and possible solutions to the learning disability.
From 2003-2006 Anna worked withStanislas Dehaene at U562, INSERM(Paris, France) on a project to design, develop and test remediation software for dyscalculia. This software, called “The Number Race” is open-source and can be downloaded for free here. It appears to be most useful for younger children (ages 5-8).

Dyscalculia News from the web:
As long as dyscalculia remains a pretty much unknown learning disability, we continue to highlight people who raise awareness or have experiences, tools, resources and other insights in the condition.
Today we highlight a tutor from San Mateo California who made a page with some videos and some links to resources. Unfortunately the link to the JumpMath program seems to be done at this time. We don’t know what is happening there.

Dyscalculia News from the web:
A solid piece of research into the origins of Math Disabilities, which we refer to on this blog as Dyscalculia. Here is the abstract:
In this study, systematic testing of the types of errors variously proposed to be associated with MD more generally or with different subgroups of MD provided no support for the idea that visual errors or switch errors are associated with MD or for the idea that switch errors might be related to attention and inhibitory control. The finding that behavioral ratings of inattention are related to both math fact errors and procedural bugs suggests the need for cognitive research on how attention affects specific mathematical processes and on interventions that aim to effect change in those mathematical processes.

News from the web:
Dyscalculia comes in many forms, hence there is no silver bullet to cure it. The link we provide you today breaks it down in many small pieces. As you can see from the list, some are categories that really tie Dyslexia and Dyscalculia together. If someone can not understand or read the assignment, how can we then expect them to provide an answer that is only remotely good?
