How to teach a child with Dyscalculia fractions?

Dyscalculia; News from the web:

One of the more stretching goals with children is to teach them fractions. This is even more true for our heroes with Dyscalculia.

The pace and speed of handling the topic in the class room in a regular school may be too taxing for our learning disabled children but with some attention at home you can do much to help out.

The blog from dyslexia victoria online brings us some great ideas and although they are designed for children with dyslexia, you may want to try them also when your child is suffering from dyscalculia.

Dyscalculia apps

Dyscalculia News from the web:

In this day and age we are all connected the whole day with our smart phones. The phone helps you with reminders, the weather, your shopping list, keeping up with what the family is doing and oh yeah, making phone calls.

Many schools have not woken up to this phenomenon yet and have all kind of ’90ies policies in place to discourage children to use these smart phones. For children with Dyscalculia however the smart phone and the apps we give you in today’s link may just be the path to success.

Thanks to the folks at my special needs network!
