Dyscalculia: News from the web:

New official report out from the UK. They make the point that dyslexia research in the US got 46 times the amount of money that dyscalculia got to do research. This needs to change.

Some of their conclusiions:

• Promote the use of reliable screening tools that focus on the efficiency of
  numerosity processing tasks in order to ensure the validity of interventions for
  dyscalculia.
• Increase funding for DD research to match that for dyslexia, which has a similar
  prevalence and impact on education and employment.
• Encourage cross-professional collaborative research between teachers, specialists
  in schools, and parents to establish what types of intervention work for DD.
• Train teachers, other education professionals, and parents in what DD is and what it
  is not, and how to support it, especially using concrete manipulables, a focus on
  foundational concepts, and the procedural skills using formal representations of
  arithmetic.

Good story about children with dyscalculia in the classroom and how they need extra attention but also a good piece about the role of the parents and what to do at home to reinforce the learning.

When it comes to dyscalculia in mainstream education, it is about children who have difficulty with arithmetic. There are several ways in which these problems can manifest themselves. It may be that these children come across as very smart and that only when they are graded it is noticeable that the students do not understand the material or it may be that students show it immediately because they do not understand the explanation of the math.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

A writer gets back to writing for a blog and here is the best quote:

I remember sitting at the kitchen table frustrated to tears because I couldn’t figure out what my entire family was calling simple math. Getting yelled at because I’d run through it again and again and over and over, I’d throw out the first answer I’m come to because I didn’t know what else to do. The numbers just did NOT makes sense.
