Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty that affects the
acquisition of numerical skills. A far larger number of pupils,
while not dyscalculic, fail to acquire the basic numerical skills
required for everyday life. Whatever the cause of poor numeracy it
is essential that these difficulties are identified and addressed.
This book looks at how adults can help identify each child's
specific areas of difficulty and describes a multi-sensory approach
that can be adapted for the needs of each student to help them
better understand numbers and apply that understanding to solve
problems. It covers the origins of number sense and how the brain
deals with numbers, assessment, planning intervention, what to
teach and how to teach it, and how parents can help their children.
This straightforward guide will be essential reading for any
parent, teacher or education professional working with a child with
dyscalculia or numeracy difficulties.
A complete assessment tool for investigating maths difficulties in
children, this book also provides advice for implementing the
findings into teaching plans. The Dyscalculia Assessment is a tool
for investigating pupils' numeracy abilities. It is designed to
inform a personalised teaching programme for individuals or small
groups of pupils who have difficulties with numbers. The assessment
was devised at Emerson House, a specialist centre in London
supporting pupils with difficulties in numeracy and literacy. The
bestselling first edition of the book, written by Jane Emerson and
Patricia Babtie, was the winner of the ERA Best Special Educational
Needs Resource 2011. This fully revised and updated second edition
features a brand new design, making the step-by-step assessment
even easier to navigate and use, wither by SENCOs or those with no
specific special needs training, The suggested script for each
stage of the investigation that runs alongside the photocopiable
assessment sheets, make this book an extremely user-friendly,
accessible teaching and learning resource. This book also includes:
- an introduction to dyscalculia and co-occuring conditions -
guidance on how to conduct the assessment, including tips on
behaviours to look out for - information on the equipment you need
and how to use it - instructions on how to interpret the results of
each stage of the assessment and how to produce a personalised
teaching plan - games and activities to engage the pupils and
reinforce numeracy skills. The Dyscalculia Assessment is ideal for
use with primary school children, but can easily be adapted for
older students, and is invaluable for SENCOs, TAs, educational
psychologists and mainstream teachers keen to support students with
numeracy difficulties in their class.
This new book by authors Jane Emerson and Patricia Babtie follows
on from their award winning book, the Dyscalculia Assessment. Once
careful assessment has identified the particular numeracy
difficulties your pupils may have, the Dyscalculia Solution
provides a practical teaching guide for addressing and solving
those difficulties. The Dyscalculia Solution includes step-by-step
instructions on how to teach pupils to use whole numbers by talking
and reasoning about them, and communicating their thinking in a
verbal, diagrammatic and written form. The book includes scripts to
emphasise the importance of using the correct language to develop
numerical thinking, as well as teaching objectives, activities and
games which are important for fostering a positive attitude to
numeracy. Each new concept builds on previous understanding so that
new facts are derived by reasoning from known facts. The
Dyscalculia Solution is ideal for use with primary school children,
but can easily be adapted for older students, and is invaluable for
SENCOs, TAs, educational psychologists and mainstream teachers,
keen to support students with numeracy difficulties in their class.
Accompanying materials in both print and electronic formats to
support busy teachers by providing lesson plans and worksheets are
available with this book.
