Are you at risk of dyscalculia?

This list is by no means exhaustive and may indicate signs of number and maths difficulties.

 

⬜ High levels of maths anxiety.⬜ Writing number digits the wrong way around consistently.
⬜ Anxiety that interferes with concentration and overloads memory.⬜ Difficulty with estimating.
⬜ Anxiety that causes physical symptoms such as sweating, shaking, and heart palpitations.⬜ Losing place when counting backwards.
⬜ Low self-esteem and self-doubt about maths abilities.⬜ Difficulty placing numbers on a number line. For example, cannot identify that the number 8 should go between 5 and 10 on a Number Line.
⬜ Reluctance to participate in math-related tasks.⬜ Difficulty with the conceptual understanding of place value.
⬜ Avoidance of maths-related activities.⬜ Generalising information; 5+2 = 7 to work out 50+20 =70 and difficulty connecting the relationship.
⬜ Negative thoughts and feelings about maths abilities.⬜ Consistent procedural errors when adding and subtracting numbers
⬜ Difficulty subitising (the ability to recognise groups of three without formal mathematical processing).⬜ Difficulty working with a  sequential pattern.
⬜ Consistently losing place when counting.⬜ Confusing signs +, -, x, ÷
⬜ Not meeting age-related expectations.⬜ Confusing or not understanding mathematical vocabulary.
⬜ Not keeping up with the curriculum.⬜ Difficulty with times tables recall.
⬜ Repeated failure and negative experiences with maths.⬜ Difficulty recalling foundational number facts.
⬜ Associating number words with their symbols. For example, they do not associate the word ‘eight’ with the symbol ‘8’⬜ Finding it hard to complete mental arithmetic tasks in a given time.
⬜ Reliance on ‘counting-on’ strategies: using fingers rather than mental arithmetic methods.⬜ Difficulty with everyday tasks such as checking change.
⬜ Differentiating numerical quantities, 208 is smaller than 802.⬜ Difficulty with reading time.
⬜ Highly reliant on inefficient pictorial methods for calculations.⬜ Dyscalculia is a specific learning disorder and can co-occur with some medical conditions.

 

No individual with dyscalculia will ever be overlooked again!

The process of supporting pupils with dyscalculia requires great effort, patience and time since their difficulties are developmentally mediated and are reliant on their developmental history rather than a topic.

It requires a developmental approach and  developmental intervention.

Dynamo Maths is purposefully and intentionally designed to address significant maths difficulties through its standardised assessment and different intervention strategies.

Dynamo Maths is constructed on a research and evidence-based NumberSenseMMR™ developmental framework validated by the University of Oxford.
