Math in real life

Posted on by

An often-forgotten category of people with dyscalculia are the adults.

We hear more and more signs from adults who are looking to get closure on their questions about why math has been so difficult for them. Mostly they have dyscalculia but it has never been recognized, assessed or remediated.

As adults have other needs we have created a video series called “Math In Real Life” a video series for people of 18 to 80 with no difficult formulas or factoring polynomials but rather short videos with explanations on how to use math in everyday situations.

From giving tip and change in a restaurant to adjusting a recipe in the kitchen, choosing a mortgage or cell phone contract or even working in the garden. Math is everywhere around us and these adults are very aware of it so we have no less than 37 videos to help them review the basic operations in various ways and apply some easy math to feel more confident in real life.

This video series is for parents who want to help their children with math homework but in the most effective way.

It has 35 videos with either instructions by me about how children learn or the background of the learning process and demonstrations of some well known manipulatives and explanations of interventions on particular topics.

There are about 150 downloadable documents available to support the parents and it is all available immediately when they sign up. https://momsteachmath.com

Dyscalculia for Dyslexia tutors transition training

Posted on by

In my mission to bring more resources for dyscalculia I have recognized the enormous potential we have in the trained dyslexia tutors. There is a 40% comorbidity or overlap between dyslexia and dyscalculia and we hear from dyslexia tutors that they get often asked to also help out with math that the children have problems with.

So I have developed a Transition Training for Dyslexia tutors who want to also work with children who have dyscalculia. see it at https://dys4dys.org

Posted on by

This training includes the following modules

Dyscalculia Tutor Training 1-1

Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages (module #1-2)

Algebra concepts in a visual way (module #1-3)

Geometry concepts (module #1-4)

Graphs, Charts, and Data Analysis (module #1-5)

The training is designed to get people ready to be a dyscalculia tutor or dyscalculia specialist to work with students who have dyscalculia after 3-6 months, depending on how much time they can devote to the study. There are a few books to read in conjunction with watching the videos.

The training is self paced, that means that all materials are available as soon as people have enrolled in the course. They can either follow the training’s curriculum or they can go directly to the topics that are most interesting for them.

The full training now has 110 videos, slightly over 30 hours of direct video instruction by me, and over the five modules about 235 downloadable tools, templates and games to help you work with the students they will be tutoring.
