A quite different take on what could cause dyscalculia in our link for today.
The writer claims it all has to do with a faulty human GPS (proprioceptive & vestibular systems). Dyscalculia is mentioned in a long list of other things that could affect you and it can all be helped with finding a better balance. Long read but worth it.

In this cohort study of early childhood development in 2441 mothers and children, higher levels of screen time in children aged 24 and 36 months were associated with poor performance on a screening measure assessing children’s achievement of development milestones at 36 and 60 months, respectively. The obverse association (ie, poor developmental performance to increased screen time) was not observed.

Just launched one of our contributions to bringing awareness of Dyscalculia to all. Mainly educators and parents need to be aware of Dyscalculia and act as soon as they think a child may have a learning disability or specifically Dyscalculia.
Do the awareness training, fully online, five modules and a little test and you can get your certificate from the Dyscalculia Training Center.

A good blog post that highlights the problems at colleges with students who need to pass math or statistics exams and have a problem with anxiety.
The best quote:
-I think making course delivery student focused as well as student led would encourage students to share responsibility for their education. Focusing on connecting with students and being perceptive as well as receptive to students’ feedback and willing to revise teaching delivery can enhance the learning climate in teaching rooms. This would promote student interaction and encourage active learning.

Researchers at Benasich’s lab in Newark, N.J. study patterns in the brain waves of infants and toddlers. They try to come up with models that predict later academic success based on brain activity at a young age. Eventually we might be able to establish how a kid needs to learn by scanning their brain before they enter school. Read the great article in the Scientic American in the link for today.

Burgeoning research into students’ difficulties with mathematics is starting to tease out cognitive differences between students who sometimes struggle with math and those who have dyscalculia, a severe, persistent learning disability in math.
A new, decade-long longitudinal study by researchers at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, published Friday in the journal Child Development, finds that 9th-graders considered dyscalculic—those who performed in the bottom 10 percent of math ability on multiple tests—had substantially lower ability to grasp and compare basic number quantities than average students or even other struggling math students.

At this time of the year, with the shorter days and colder weather, studying can be more of a challenge. Whether your child is grappling with seasonal affective disorder or is just hitting a wall in the middle of the school year, there are ways to help. This list includes suggestions for maintaining focus, improving moods and beating those winter doldrums.
When there’s less sunshine during the day, it’s especially important to take advantage when the sun is out. Look for opportunities for your child to get outside when the sun is shining. Unfortunately, there may be times when school, sports, clubs and other activities can keep your child indoors during the day. If that’s the case, suggest eating lunch outside or trying to sit near any available windows when studying.

News from the web:
The learning of mathematics covers a variety of skills, such as comparing quantities, counting the number of items in a set, dealing with the numerical systems (i.e., writing and reading numbers), performing simple and complex calculations, or solving word problems. Typically, a majority of children are able to master these abilities, but an appreciable percentage of them does not and are then referenced as having developmental dyscalculia. It is clear that not being able to count efficiently, to understand the meaning of numbers, or to calculate as other children do, rapidly becomes a handicap during the development, not only at school but also in society in general, in the same way as not being able to read is. Despite the growing interest observed over these last few years, research on developmental dyscalculia or more general mathematical disability is actually much less advanced than research on dyslexia. It could be due to the complexity of the mathematics field. Several hypotheses have been proposed to account for this learning deficit, but the origin(s) of developmental dyscalculia remain(s) unclear.

In Malaysia, children with learning disabilities are defined as those with a wide spectrum of different categories of disabilities. These include children with mental retardation, children with specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, children with emotional and behavioral disorders which include children with autism and ADHD, children with speech and language problems as well as children with motor difficulties such as dyspraxia.The main defining feature of these children is that their learning difficulties differ from the norm to such an extent that an individualized, adapted and specialized education is required to meet their needs. In order to meet their learning needs, some are placed in regular classes with supplementary instruction and services, but most of these children are placed in special education classes that are attached to normal schools. These special education classes follow a specialized curriculum, and are taught by special education teachers who are trained in special education methods of instruction

Dyscalculia is a term that covers a broad range of lifelong learning disabilities in math. Math disabilities are varied, so it’s often difficult to pinpoint specific problem areas. Since there are so many components and skills involved with mathematical thinking, a disability affects each child’s development in different ways. If you’re worried about your child, use these steps to try to identify any potential math learning disability.
