* Why do some pupils experience maths learning difficulties? * How
can you determine whether there is a specific learning difficulty
such as dyscalculia, dyspraxia or dyslexia? * What teaching
strategies can help overcome maths anxiety and specific maths
learning difficulties? Without doubt maths is one of the most
important subjects taught in schools and yet it is the one subject
that can strike fear and dread in children from the very start of
their education. In this book Judy Hornigold explores potential
causes of maths learning difficulties and particularly the specific
difficulties that learners with dyscalculia, dyslexia and/or
dyspraxia experience. It considers how general maths anxiety
impedes mathematical development and then examines whether this, or
a more fundamental and specific difficulty with maths such as
dyscalculia, is the real root of difficulties. The book then looks
in detail at a wide range of strategies to help overcome general
maths anxiety and more specific learning difficulties. It addresses
four distinct areas - core number, reasoning, memory and visual
spatial awareness - as the main areas of difficulty for learners
with dyscalculia (core number and reasoning), dyslexia (memory) and
dyspraxia (visual spatial awareness).
