Early dyscalcula is often picked up when spoken instructions are not understood, numbers are transposed, shape names are forgotten and signs are confused.
Many dyslexic children suffer from both word and number blindness.
Games are again an excellent way of reinforcing concepts. Formative Fun has selected a range of support products for parents or helpers that will physically demonstrate the sum. There is a base 10 block for example so that hundreds, tens and units can be physically added together or subtracted on the table before writing down and recording the sum. Tables and division can be seen with the use of number rods, addition and subtraction can be illustrated with the Bus Stop game etc. Adults need to remember that the child needs to have plenty of practice using kinaesthetic awareness to overcome the learning difficulty.
