Dyscalculia News from the web:

In this day and age we are all connected the whole day with our smart phones. The phone helps you with reminders, the weather, your shopping list, keeping up with what the family is doing and oh yeah, making phone calls.

Many schools have not woken up to this phenomenon yet and have all kind of ’90ies policies in place to discourage children to use these smart phones. For children with Dyscalculia however the smart phone and the apps we give you in today’s link may just be the path to success.

Thanks to the folks at my special needs network!

Today we highlight a tutor from San Mateo California who made a page with some videos and some links to resources. Unfortunately the link to the JumpMath program seems to be done at this time. We don’t know what is happening there.

Why children with dyscalculia get math wrong

Dyscalculia News from the web:

A solid piece of research into the origins of Math Disabilities, which we refer to on this blog as Dyscalculia. Here is the abstract:

In this study, systematic testing of the types of errors variously proposed to be associated with MD more generally or with different subgroups of MD provided no support for the idea that visual errors or switch errors are associated with MD or for the idea that switch errors might be related to attention and inhibitory control. The finding that behavioral ratings of inattention are related to both math fact errors and procedural bugs suggests the need for cognitive research on how attention affects specific mathematical processes and on interventions that aim to effect change in those mathematical processes.

Dyscalculia various forms

News from the web:

Dyscalculia comes in many forms, hence there is no silver bullet to cure it. The link we provide you today breaks it down in many small pieces. As you can see from the list, some are categories that really tie Dyslexia and Dyscalculia together.
