Helping a child with dyscalculia to learn their maths facts

Posted on by

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!

To address these difficulties, we designed and developed an educational tool based on augmented reality and evaluated its effectiveness on student performance and satisfaction.

The case for structured word inquiry

Posted on by

The term neurodivergent describes people whose brains work differently from what is considered typical. This includes children with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyscalculia and other learning differences. Neurodivergence is not about being less capable. It simply means a child learns in ways that diverge from the majority. Yet when classrooms are built around only one “standard” way of learning, many children — neurodivergent or not — end up feeling broken by a system that does not work for them.

At the Bermuda Centre for Creative Learning, we know there is another way. Structured word inquiry offers an inclusive approach that benefits every learner. Instead of asking children to memorise and drill, SWI invites them to investigate words like scientists. Why is this word spelt this way? What meaning does it carry? How is it connected to other words? Suddenly, spelling is no longer about arbitrary rules — it becomes a logical system with patterns and connections that make sense.
