10 Evidence-Based Strategies to Help Students with Dyscalculia

Mathematics can feel like an exciting puzzle for many children, but for students with dyscalculia, numbers often feel overwhelming, abstract, and even intimidating. Dyscalculia is a specific learning difference that affects a student’s ability to understand number concepts, recall math facts, and perform calculations. Roughly 5–7% of students are believed to struggle with this challenge, yet it often goes undiagnosed or misunderstood.

The good news is that research provides us with concrete, evidence-based strategies to help children with dyscalculia thrive. With the right teaching methods, patience, and support, students can build confidence and make meaningful progress in mathematics. At Scholars Academy, a virtual school for kids with dyscalculia in NC, we integrate these strategies daily into our instruction. Below, we’ll explore ten proven approaches that make a real difference.

Helping a child with dyscalculia to learn their maths facts

This post describes the system that I use with my dyscalculic child for learning maths facts. At the point of beginning this system, my child knew almost no maths facts at all, and was struggling to retain even +1 facts. These strategies have enable them to learn all addition facts to 20 and subtraction facts to 10. We are now successfully working on subtraction facts to 20 and multiplication. It’s been a game changer for us!

The Impact of an Augmented Reality Tool on Students with Dyscalculia in Learning Multiplication Concepts

Augmented reality has emerged as an assistive technology recently, contributing to various fields, especially education. In particular, it offers potential benefits for students with learning difficulties. Students with dyscalculia, for example, face significant difficulties that hinder their academic performance. To address these difficulties, we designed and developed an educational tool based on augmented reality and evaluated its effectiveness on student performance and satisfaction.
