I have observed that many of my student that are impacted by #Dyscalculia, become very hesitant to write out longer form math problems. And Rightly So! But not when they turn to apps like PhotoMath to just solve the problem for them. Getting creative to help students understand what is happening in the math equation is as imperative as helping students with strategies accommodate them towards success. Learn a few strategies below. #learningdisabilityawareness #calculators #specialeducation

✨ In the final instalment of Sarah Cox and Kate King's series “Practical Strategies for Parents in Supporting Children with Dyslexia” with Tooled Up Education. 👩🏫 Kate explains how dyslexic type difficulties can impact on maths and what we mean by the term 'dyscalculia'. 🔢 She explains the importance of gaining a concrete understanding of number and place value and why this is needed as a secure foundation in mathematical learning. 😃 Using simple concrete resources Kate demonstrates how to build a real understanding of different maths concepts to aid retention. 🎉 Kate shares how 1:1 intervention for maths can fill gaps and reduce anxiety. https://lnkd.in/eHeyhSFf #dyslexia #dyscalculia

Did you know? Learning disability testing can involve assessments in reading, writing, math, and cognitive processing. Understanding these areas is key to unlocking the support children need to thrive! 📚🧠 Schedule your initial appointment today! https://lnkd.in/euNjW_zn #learningdisability #invisibledisabilities #learningdifficulties #learningdisabilities #psychologicaltesting #academicsuccess #dyslexicthinking #classroomaccommodations #mwpsychology

Tiny tweaks can lead to giant leaps in learning. By simply using larger print and extra spacing in texts, we can make reading a more accessible journey for our dyslexic students. Let's make a difference, one small change at a time. 📚✨⁠ ⁠ #DyslexiaFriendly #InclusiveEducation #SmallChangesBigImpact #ReadingAccessibility #DyslexiaAwareness #InclusiveTeaching #DyslexiaStrategies #learningdifferences #neurodivergent #genesisreadingnj

Did you know that dyslexia is NOT a vision problem? This is a common misconception about this learning disability. Though students with dyslexia may reverse letters while learning to read, dyslexia is a language based issue. If you think your child may be struggling with dyslexia, reach out to Da Vinci Collaborative for assessment and support strategies tailored to your child’s needs.

🧮 Dyscalculia is a learning disability that impacts the ability to acquire mathematical skills. People with #Dyscalculia may struggle to understand simple number concepts, number facts, and procedures. Symptoms may include: ✖️ Difficulty learning basic math functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division ➗ Trouble remembering numbers, such as telephone numbers ➕ Difficulty grasping word problem concepts and other calculations 🟰 Struggles with math homework assignments and tests 👉 While there is no cure, various strategies and accommodations can help individuals thrive.⁠ ⁠ ❤️ Understanding and support are crucial in empowering students with Dyscalculia to reach their full potential.⁠ ⁠ #pdxreadingspecialist #learningdisabilities⁠ #disabilityawareness #learningdifferences ⁠#education #parenting ⁠#supportstudents

A common misconception about dyscalculia is that it’s simply “being bad at math.”  In reality, dyscalculia is a specific learning disability that affects how the brain processes numerical information. It’s not a lack of effort or intelligence; individuals with dyscalculia often struggle with basic number sense, like recognizing quantities, understanding the relationship between numbers, or estimating time.  In the school environment, this misconception can lead to frustration and a lack of proper support, as these students may be unfairly labeled as lazy or inattentive. Without tailored interventions, such as using visual aids, hands-on activities, or alternative problem-solving strategies, students with dyscalculia may struggle unnecessarily, despite their potential to excel in other areas. #differentnotless #neurodiversityadvocate #accommodationsmatter #dyscalculia #educationleadership #neuroaffirming #thedrivetothrive

Identifying dyscalculia in children early on is crucial for timely intervention and support. Here are the key signs to look out for: 🧮 Difficulty with Basic Math Skills: Persistent struggles with basic operations like addition and subtraction. 👈 Persistent Finger Counting: Continued reliance on fingers to count well beyond the expected age. 🔢 Poor Number Sense: Challenges understanding quantities, order, and value of numbers. 📚 Struggles with Math Problems: Difficulty solving word problems and understanding multi-step calculations. 😰 Math Anxiety: Intense fear or stress when faced with math tasks, impacting performance and confidence. 🧠 Difficulty with Mental Math: Trouble performing calculations in their head, often relying on visual aids. 🧩 Poor Memory for Math Facts: Struggles to recall basic math facts quickly and accurately. Early recognition and support can significantly improve outcomes for children with dyscalculia.

Today is Dyscalculia Day. Dyscalculia Day helps to raise awareness about learning difficulties that pertain to numbers and maths. Did you know that about 6% of people have dyscalculia? "Studies into the causes of dyscalculia are about 30 years behind research into dyslexia".

Many children with learning disabilities, including dyscalculia, struggle with basic math facts, which is often tied to poor number sense. Jonily shares insights on how these children might struggle with addition or subtraction because they lack an intuitive grasp of number magnitude and relationships. To address these challenges, Jonily emphasizes the importance of teaching strategies that enhance number sense. This approach contrasts sharply with traditional methods focusing on memorization and procedural learning. She points out that procedural knowledge is necessary but does not foster a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.
