▪Dyscalculia is defined as a heterogeneous learning impairment affecting numerical and/or arithmetic functioning at behavioral, psychological and neuronal levels that is persistent into adulthood.

Hereditary and environmental components are hypothesized as possible causes. The prevalence is 3–6 % of the population. Females seem to be diagnosed more often with dyscalculia than males. Early identification, diagnosis, and treatment is very important. The earlier students receive an intervention, the more likely they are to develop effective coping mechanisms.

Students and adults with dyscalculia are more likely to experience anxiety and suffer with their general mental health. This anxiety can carry over to other academic areas as well as interfere in relationships.

There is an urgent societal need to help failing
learners achieve a level of numeracy at which
they can function adequately in the modern
workplace. Contemporary research on dyscalculia promises a productive way forward, but it is
still a “poor relation” in terms of funding.

Mathematical thinking pervades nearly all aspects
of modern life, from personal accounting to understanding important information about one’s health.
Accordingly, individuals with poor mathematical
skills are less likely to graduate high school, go to
college, have steady employment, and are at a higher
physical and mental health risk.

Evidenced based approaches include diagnosing each child’s conceptual gaps in understanding and giving the child more
individual support in working through visual,
verbal, and physical activities designed to bridge
each gap.

Interventions should be adapted to individual profile of performance levels and difficulties. Students should have as much one-to-one teaching as possible. Students should receive as much repetition in teaching as possible. Students can maximize learning when presented with motivations such as rewards and strategies to reduce anxiety.

This pack provides activities and progress check record sheets that can be used to support students with dyscalculia to develop basic mathematical skills, such as:counting;reading and writing numerals;developing a knowledge on more and less. This pack uses a whole range of practical activities to support students with developing these skills.
