What interventions work best with Dyscalculia?

Posted on by

Developmental dyscalculia (DD) affects 2-6% of the population. Yet, a
readily accessible list of potential interventions for DD is not available or
can be easily found by educators. With a large percentage of the population
afflicted with DD, educators should be made aware of what supportive
approaches are available. The purpose of this study was to construct a lit
erature review to locate and identify strategies tailored for this particular
learning disability that can be used in the classroom. Results indicated that
a total of seven evidence-based interventions are available for DD. Of the
seven available options, all reported evidence of effectiveness in terms of
helping to improve mathematical learning abilities for individuals. The
need for future research into interventions for DD will assist students
in improving their understanding of how they can handle mathematical
tasks.

Anthropic’s Claude can’t solve basic word problems. Gemini fails to understand quadratic equations. And Meta’s Llama struggles with straightforward addition.

So how is it that these bots can write soliloquies, yet get tripped up by grade-school-level arithmetic?
