Is your child or a particular student struggling with math on a daily basis? It is not unusual for children or students to be challenged with math homework once in awhile. However, if he experiences problems with numbers or has low math test scores yet does well in other subjects, he could have a math learning disability (LD) called dyscalculia. This LD called dyscalculia is a brain-related condition that makes basic arithmetic and its concepts very hard to learn. The condition may be hereditary, but scientists have not yet discovered any genes specifically related to it. Up to 7% of elementary school students have dyscalculia. Research suggests it's as common as dyslexia -- a reading disorder -- but not as well understood. In fact, kids and parents sometimes call it “math dyslexia,” but this can be confusing because dyscalculia is a completely different condition. Your school or doctor may call it a “mathematics learning disability” or a “math disorder.” This math LD can sometimes be associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -- up to 60% of people who have ADHD also have a learning disorder like dyscalculia. Dyscalculia, sometimes called math dyslexia, covers a wide range of math difficulties. The symptoms can also change as your child gets older and is expected to think about math in new ways. Here are signs of the math struggles you might see at different ages. From the following 2 lists, if you find that your child or student demonstrates more weaknesses than he does strengths, a math learning disability or dyscalculia may be the issue: Strengths in Mathematics -Correctly sequences numbers, equations and formulas -Correctly performs mental math processes -Accurately conducts math computations -Completes work logically and with minimal errors -Understands math concepts -Appropriately uses both oral and written math terms -Consistently and correctly remembers math facts Weaknesses in Mathematics -Rarely sequences numbers, equations and formulas correctly -Unable to perform mental math processes -Usually conducts math computations inaccurately -Makes many careless errors, often choosing the wrong operation -Has difficulty understanding math concepts -Rarely uses math terms appropriately---both orally and in written work -Unable to accurately recall math facts (though many children today are not committing math facts to memory.) -Unable to do word problems Once you have determined the strengths vs. weaknesses ratio as stated above, consider using one or more of the following top resources to help initiate progress for your child or student with dyscalculia or other related math issues. These links can provide a bridge while waiting to access professional evaluation, services and support for a math LD. BEST 5 Dyscalculia Resources 1.
