News from the web:

I have dyscalculia. I can count with 1:1 correlation and I do understand some numbers are larger as I count up, and smaller as I count down. I just don’t understand their relationships. And I cannot remember numbers because there is no emotional association. I also have synesthesia and my memory is connected to emotions. That is, if I have no feelings about an event I saw or heard  I don’t remember it. Math is too cold for me to focus upon. I wish it could have been taught in a way that made it matter. I surround myself with people who can do math and from an early age my children did all my math for me. Now I just ignore it entirely.

The concepts which would be better understood by the general public if better explained are the relationships between numbers — how they relate to one another. For example, I see people who can look at a profit and loss statement and immediately understand how a business can be improved. I wish I had that ability, and I wish that kind of understanding were taught or could be taught more effectively and more explicitly.
