We all have to take GCSE maths, but that doesn't mean we all find
it easy! If you have been struggling with maths and find working
with numbers particularly tough, this is the go-to GCSE maths study
guide to help you ace your exams. This is the first GCSE maths
study guide (covering number, proportion and algebra) that uses
engaging multisensory methods of learning for students with
specific learning differences. It offers unique insight into why
you may find maths extra challenging and gives practical advice on
how you can adapt your studying processes to suit the way that you
learn best. With a range of study strategies and fun activities,
the guide covers topics from fractions, multiplication and division
to algebra, quadratics and percentages. With everything tailored to
suit young people who think and learn differently, this GCSE maths
study guide has all you need to improve your maths skills...and
maybe even learn to love maths!
Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty that affects a
person's mathematical ability. It is estimated that around 6% of
the population have dyscalculia, so in a typical classroom there is
likely to be at least one dyscalculic learner. Research is ongoing,
but we know that dyscalculia is a much deeper-rooted problem than
just 'being bad at maths'. This Pocketbook looks at the
difficulties faced by pupils with dyscalculia and explores the
support strategies that work.The author begins by summarising and
explaining what we currently know about dyscalculia. Key indicators
are described, along with various ways of screening and assessing
to identify students with this SpLD. There's a helpful chapter on
'maths anxiety' and a central practical section on teaching
strategies that will help learners to work around the obstacles
dyscalculia presents. Details of the three components of a
mathematical idea and the six levels of learning - intuitive,
concrete, pictorial, abstract, application and communication -
provide good underpinning structure. Games that help develop number
sense and the ten most effective classroom approaches are also
covered. A final resource section and maths glossary complete the
picture.As with all books in the Teachers' Pocketbooks series, this
is a practical, 'how to' guide, throughout which cartoons, diagrams
and visual prompts support the text.Former primary school teacher
Judy Hornigold is a Senior Lecturer on Inclusion at Edge Hill
University. She has written and delivered the PGCert for
Dyscalulia/Maths Learning Difficulties, accredited by the BDA and
has also developed multiple products for use in schools, including
various support materials.
* 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).
Has maths ever made you feel anxious, confused or like you just
don't get it? This is an entertaining collection of mathematical
games and curiosities for you to astound your family and friends
with. You don't have to follow the chapters in a certain order -
you can use this book however you would like, whether you want to
get creative, play a game or impress your friends with a clever
trick. Designed to spark a child's enthusiasm for maths and make
learning simple, this book will help children to grasp the
fundamental concepts in maths through exploration and play. This
book will appeal to all learning styles and abilities but is
particularly relevant for those with specific learning difficulties
such as dyscalculia. Building self-esteem and promoting a growth
mindset, these activities will help readers to effortlessly develop
their number skills, empowering even the least confident learner
with a deeper understanding of maths.
As an experienced teacher and the mother of a dyslexic child, Judy
Hornigold has written the book that she wishes had been available
when her own son was diagnosed. She writes with knowledge and
understanding, both of the challenges of dyslexia and of the way in
which parents can help to support their child. It is full of
practical ideas that are not only fun but have been proven to work
in helping dyslexic children to overcome the problems that they
face. Includes copiable templates, simple games and activities and
a substantial section of invaluable resources.
Dyscalculia is a learning difference affecting the ability to
process numbers. This illustrated guide provides children aged 7+
with the tools and confidence to understand the condition, discover
helpful techniques, and seek additional support. It guides parents
and teachers on how to help at home and at school, and includes an
extensive resource list.
