Teaching math to those with learning disabilities

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Good article in our link for today with some great advice on how to work with students with learning disabilities. Here are the headlines:

  • Resist the temptation to de-emphasize language in math class, especially for English-learners and those who have language-related disabilities. De-emphasis is probably a disservice.
  • Consider how broad student labels can conceal mathematical skill. English-learners, depending on their prior schooling, and students with disabilities, depending on their specific disability, can have widely varying math abilities and knowledge.
  • Focus on what students can do rather than fixating on what they cannot.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Encouragement for dyscalculia students

Posted on by

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

In our link for today a story from Ireland about someone growing up with several learning disabilities, among which Dyscalculia. Best quote:

Anyways if all those years taught me anything it is that if you’re bad at Maths or in my case school itself, it’s definitely not the end of the world. There are always multiple ways to study what you want, or get on the career path you want. If you feel like you’re trying your best at Maths but nothing is changing, or you’ve had a similar experience to what I’ve had, reach out and talk to someone. There is help available out there.
