This project I chose to study Dyscalculia, or “Dyslexia with numbers.” My whole life I have struggled with math so when I studied biographies of dyscalculic children I related to their struggle on a smaller level. Children with Dyscalculia often struggle with things not related to math as well, such as telling their left from their right, and telling time on a non-digital clock, and when they’re older, driving. These children excel when they are taught using visual techniques, and in a group setting. I found it interesting that children with dyscalculia cannot distinguish the value of a number from the word. For example, in one of the videos on my project, an author talks about how she was working with a child who was asked what plus four equals nine without counting on her fingers. The child responded “could it be nine? No it couldn't, because five is much bigger than four, so that would equal much more than nine.” This shows that these children have normal thinking and processing patterns but they just cannot comprehend the normal sequencing of numbers. This disease is just as common as dyslexia, with 7% of the population suffering from it. However, we are far less educated on dyscalculia. In fact, we are an approximated 30 years behind what we know about dyslexia for dyscalculia. Working on this project has taught me to pay more attention to when a child is having trouble learning a concept. Sometimes it is just them being too young to understand, but other times if the problem persists there can be some internal problems going on that are stopping the child from exceeding in a certain area. Dyscalculia needs to be researched more so that children who have don’t feel isolated and intelligent. If treated early Dyscalculia can be cured and not affect the child’s adult life, but if left untreated can lead to more problems down the road.

This video shows the story of a family who's child has struggles in math. They don't know what is wrong with her or why she is finding simple things so difficult. Her mother tries to help her by teaching her how to add/count on her fingers. She shows a small amount of improvement but still struggles with simple problems. She doesn't like to do her math homework and prefers to play on her iPad instead. Her parents become increasingly frustrated with her inability and confused as to what is wrong with her. They are educated on Dyscalculia and use special techniques to teach her the concepts. She starts to improve to the joy of her parents.

IMpossible : Journey of a Dyscalculic child

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
You might have heard of 'Dyslexia' which is a reading disability but there are less chances of your familiarity with 'Dyscalculia'. Dyscalculia is basically a mathematics disorder. A child with dyscalculia has difficulty in understanding simple number concepts. This video revolves around the life of a child with dyscalculia.

This video discussed what causes dyscalculia. The causes are largely unknown. there may be a neurological problem. There are certain areas of the brain associated with math that are different in people with dyscalculia. We are a long way from understanding why this happens. There needs to be more genetic research done to see if it can be passed on to the next generation.

This video tells about the symptoms of Dyscalculia. Children tend to avoid telling time, and solving simple math problems. Children also have a hard time telling their left from their right. They rely on counting on their fingers and cannot connect values to numbers. Dyscalculic children have trouble sequencing numbers and cannot estimate well.

This video is about a method called 'touch math.' This uses things like playdough to teach the children the value of the numbers used in simple math. This uses rolled up pieces of playdough put on numbers, like one ball on 1, two balls on 2, ect. Once all the balls are placed on the numbers the teacher takes them all off and then has the child 'teach' her the concept to retain the knowledge. Then the teacher takes away the balls and gives the child a whiteboard and has her draw dots on the numbers in place of the balls. This helps visual learners or children with Dyscalculia conceptualize values.

This video shows a teacher helping kids identify numbers using cards. They have to see a problem and hold up the card that shows the answer. Then they are shown the number in a quantity of something and they have to identify the number based on the amount they see. This video is showing an actual classroom and demonstrates the excitement students have when they get the answer in the group setting.
