Identification
Students with Dyscalculia may have
difficulty with the following:
- the learning of number bonds in addition and subtraction
- the learning of multiplication tables
- the understanding of concepts involving directionality; time and spatial concepts can
also prove difficult
- sequencing activities
- orientation, confusion can arise through having to process different operations in
different directions: e.g. when starting at the right in addition, subtraction and
multiplication but at the left when dividing
- spatial awareness
- visual discrimination resulting in confusion of signs such as + - ¸ and ´
- mental arithmetic (mental manipulation of number/ symbols
in short term memory.
