Description
Understanding Maths Learning Difficulties: Dyscalculia, Dyslexia Or Dyspraxia? Maths is a fundamental subject taught in schools, yet it can evoke fear and dread in children from the start of their education. This book explores the potential causes of maths learning difficulties, focusing on dyscalculia, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. It examines how general maths anxiety can impede mathematical development and investigates whether this anxiety is the root of difficulties or a more fundamental issue with maths. The book delves into strategies to overcome maths anxiety and specific learning difficulties, addressing four key areas: core number, reasoning, memory, and visual spatial awareness. These areas are identified as the main areas of difficulty for learners with specific learning difficulties. By understanding the causes and effects of maths learning difficulties, you can take the first steps towards supporting pupils and helping them overcome their challenges.
