We still do not know very much about this condition. However, it is estimated *3 – 6 % of the population may have it. Around 60% of people with dyslexia have difficulties with dyscalculia. A lot of research is now taking place, and it is hoped that we will begin to understand this a little more over the next few years.
These factors are often exacerbated by: poor processing, sequencing skills and poor short-term memory problems. They are usually good at answering verbally but cannot tell you how they got the answer. Along with dyslexia and dysgraphia, the extent to which you can be affected by dyscalculia varies tremendously in each individual.
You can help a student with dyscalculia by helping to develop his skills with sequencing, space organisation, deduction, directional awareness, timekeeping and strategy. The earlier it is started, the better.
