  • Using graph paper will help a child keep numbers in alignment.
  • “Chunking” is a process that breaks new lessons into smaller parts. Children with dyscalculia need to see how different skills relate to new concepts.
  • Review is necessary before moving on to a new skill.
  • Small-group instruction can help a child focus his or her attention and feel more comfortable talking through each step.
  • Create a system to help your child keep track of time.
