This new book by authors Jane Emerson and Patricia Babtie follows on
from their award winning book, the Dyscalculia Assessment. Once careful
assessment has identified the particular numeracy difficulties your
pupils may have, the Dyscalculia Solution provides a practical teaching
guide for addressing and solving those difficulties.
The Dyscalculia Solution includes step-by-step instructions on how to
teach pupils to use whole numbers by talking and reasoning about them,
and communicating their thinking in a verbal, diagrammatic and written
form. The book includes scripts to emphasise the importance of using the
correct language to develop numerical thinking, as well as teaching
objectives, activities and games which are important for fostering a
positive attitude to numeracy. Each new concept builds on previous
understanding so that new facts are derived by reasoning from known
facts.
The Dyscalculia Solution is ideal for use with primary school children,
but can easily be adapted for older students, and is invaluable for
SENCOs, TAs, educational psychologists and mainstream teachers, keen to
support students with numeracy difficulties in their class.
Accompanying materials in both print and electronic formats to support
busy teachers by providing lesson plans and worksheets are available
with this book.
