In our link for today a great piece of new research but here is the easy to read version so children with developmental dyscalculia can understand why it is important.

Imagine your brain is a busy city. There are different parts of the city that do different jobs. Some parts help you think about numbers, while others help you remember things.

When everything in the city is working together smoothly, you can do things like math easily. But in some people with developmental disabilities, the traffic between these parts of the city might be a little mixed up. This can make it harder for them to do math.

So, this means that if we can understand how these parts of the brain work together, we might be able to help people with developmental disabilities learn math better.
