Great technique :-)

One of my the most frustrating things about having dyscalculia is the accommodation ;”allow more time on tests”. You can give me an extra 20 minutes or 20 days, and the outcome is the same. I’m not going to “eventually figure it out”. I have no idea how to solve the problem no matter how much time I’m given.

I have all of the symptoms of dyscalculia. I was born left handed and in fifth grade, my teacher forced me (and one other boy) to switch to right. That was also the last year I passed a math class. I failed every math class through HS and college. I had all the credits to graduate except math. I was taking a “Math for Teachers” class for the 4th time and still failing miserably. My professor came to me and recommended testing. The test revealed I had dyslexia of numbers. I don’t think the official name had been adopted yet. My professor passed me out of pity and I went on to become a teacher and principal for 35 years. I adapted as best as I could until calculators came out. I use it for simple math. Any problem that has steps or processes is still incomprehensible to me.

emphasize working memory development and the algebraic bidirectionality of equality, keys to clarify, thx again!

helpful advice, thx!

A tutor

Thank you for making this video! I have dyscalculia and my math teacher and guidance counsellor never takes me seriously! They think I’m making it up. For example, my math teacher hands me a test, assignment, etc.. I explain to him that I do not learn from being given packets of math assignments. He, on the other hand, telephones my parents and tells them I’m a “dramatic” and “lazy” individual. I’ve been struggling with dyscalculia all my life and it hurts to know that nobody believes me. I hope this video educates other teachers watching this video and grants them understanding of dyscalculia. To all math teachers reading my comment, your fellow students with dyscalculia aren’t lazy or uninterested in math, they have math anxiety and have a literal neurological disorder. NEVER ASSUME! if you’re not fit for students with dyscalculia or other disorders, do not be a teacher, thank you.

Saying 6% sounds small and abstract to be honest, as if you would really have to search hard to find one of these 6% out of a large crowd. If you just say "1 out of 20 students" has discalculia, it sounds a lot more concrete, at least to me. It makes me think "1 out of 20 students is going through hell when working on math/numbers". That means that there are children in every single classroom suffering, and that's A LOT of people.

Having trouble measuring anything, reading analog clocks, maps, holding numbers in your head. I have a whole of other problems besides math unfortunately and as a 35 year old adult I have such low self esteem. School didn't know what to do with me so they put me in with the severely mentally disabled kids. I feel sorry for kids that struggle in school.

THANKS 😊

I hated math because I had no encouragement to learn about math from teachers at. I'd cringe and I cry easily.I don't know how to count money when it comes coins and paper dollars all together. It was so embarrassing that students asked me what's 3+3. I definitely getting help and I really want encouragement and support badly because I'm definitely struggling with it.

My dad, a math wizard, have been living with two people (me and mom) who both have dyslexia and dyscalculia, but I am diagnosed as mom don't really see the point since she's so old. But she have the exact same signs as I have.

How is a gifted kid who is performing slightly below average in a specific subject NOT DEFICIENT?! You shouldn't be comparing them to an "average" student and declaring them to be okay because their performance is nearly on par with "average," you should be comparing them to other gifted kids and the performance you would expect from a high-IQ kid. This is exactly how gifted children constantly get missed for a diagnosis of learning difficulties: not being compared to actual peers when evaluated for an impairment. I think you dropped the ball with that kid.

I thought they had math still apart of it. I have had both but more problems with math than reading. Although I do read slow and struggled with tests especially timed tests. Math I had to take so many for some reason the numbers flip like 65/56 and I won't notice that I did it at all, I for some reason don't do that with letters though. The bad part is when you are working with money or cash register it would sometimes be off 😢 I still have this problem people say I had dyslexia but it's not cure based its learning techniques to help you live with it better. Unfortunately I'm also amadextrius so bad with left and right to😅

Organization is an obsession with me but a absolute necessary component for getting through an ordinary daily routine. I'm not sure how young your students; 4 or 5 year olds maybe but elementary students? No. Give them a folder for their loose papers, a small zipper pocket for pencils, a ring binder 1/2 inch for hole binder paper, a composition not book with a times-table chart on the inside cover. And insist that they organize their backpack by checking it and some daily reward system or earn tokens.

One of the very few videos addressing strategies and method for dealing with dyslexic problems! Not just identifying the problems (i am very aware of the problem s) but what to do and possible procedures. Wonderful.

Mathematics is one of the worse subjects in school to me. When I found out about dyscalculia, I realized that I have it. I felt like crying, overwhelming frustrated, I was also in Special Education classes. I still struggling with money, fractions, percentages, and so on. Now I'm learning what dyscalculia is. I really would like to do some research about math. Teachers had gotten frustrated with me.

I’m 54 years old and still trying to get my GED. I’ve tried many times in my life and it was always the math that stopped me. I recently employed a tutor and I will sit and listen to her and get it but as soon as she’s gone I literally forget the whole thing. I feel so stupid. I feel like even she is getting frustrated with me. I’ve literally been on fractions and decimals for a month now 😭I just found out about this disorder today and at least I know it’s a real thing. I still don’t know what to do about it though.

Excellent! The pictures really help.

Thanks very much - just what I was hoping for - that's great work indeed!

Hello I am here because the school system is failing my children. I have a 6grader with adhd and struggling with math, writing and some reading. He is far off the grade level he is in and the school is triggering his mental health mistreating him and bullying and comments from the staff about who he is. I want to help him and I seen this video and wish to know more

I had to train a man to use a band saw, he could not even tell the difference of a 1" diameter round bar from a 1.25" diameter bar even though they were side by side, nothing of any part of math processed, not even counting. I spend hours a day trying to teach converting centimeters to millimeters, but he didn't even recognize the difference of a totally different number from the target number. I got so hoarse teaching, makind analogies, diagrams, that I had him watch videos of how to read a tape measure. It was so foreign to me I had thoughts that it was deliberate to protest having me train him, but I held to the thought it was a head injury or a development issue. Thanks for this info.

Great, helpful, concrete ways to teach. Thank you for modeling how to use them and why!!

Wow! We need more of this content! Thank you so much. (Kent, UK)

My problem was always those math problems with words "a train was going 50mph and a car was going ...." type thing. And of course the fact that if the teacher never emphasized the fact that you had to know a math RULE before working the problem, assuming you understood the book already.... elementary and jr high was hard for me with math. In fact one teacher sentenced me to detention in the 3rd grade because I didn't know the dot meant the same thing as the multiplication symbol. So I had to be hollered at by a male PE teacher and made to do jumping jacks and push ups as if I was a true troublemaker. Be glad you live in the information age! But the guy is right, workarounds are everything, and that's what saved me while at the office.

This makes sense now that my son with dyslexia cannot for the life of him remember times tables and always needs a print out of times tables as reference!

I wish I had these learning changes when I was a child. I’m 68 now and it’s too late. But all your examples make sense ❤️

I went through exactly what the first testimony said i struggled so much with math and every school i went to i was placed on the special ed class till this day i dont know my math its so frustrating. I tried taking a basic math class at the community college and it was so hard to learn it i told them that i would have to repeat the the quater class just so i can maybe memorize it but it honestly is a waste of time thats what they said in the school. My question is I'm an adult and Where can I get diagnosed with dyslexia I struggled to memorize things and I gotta be honest I've always struggled with math. I don't know multiplication and even counting money. I've been ripped off before with change cause it's something I struggled with. Not just that but a bit of reading also. I struggle with work but I honestly need a diagnosis so my job is more understanding of my struggles. all my life I've struggled with this learning issue. Where do you recommend I go.

Thanks for sharing :D

Yeah this story is mind blowing, thanks for sharing!!

How do I get diagnosed for dyscalculia as an 28 year old?

My teachers used to put a maths problem on the board, and call me up to solve it, I stood there for ever, while she called me names, and the other kids laughed, I could never tell the time, had trouble with money all my life… it created issues with my confidence …..I get lost easily when driving somewhere, I get so frustrated with myself

Precision Teaching! Morningside Academy has created resources to support systematic mastery. Thank you for discussing this important topic.

I didn't start having issues until middle school when we started getting into Algebra. Once math became more complex with longer formulae, more steps, and letters mixed in with numbers, my brain just shut down.

What program are you using in this video?

58 year old here and have always struggled with math concepts. Remember wanting a mickey mouse watch so badly when I was a kid and when I got one being terrified of being asked what time it was.

Math brings me to tears. LITERALLY.

I was petrified through every lesson and I believed I was an idiot. I copied from my friends. 11 years of hell.

Think of the word calculate, that is how you pronounce it.

Because of dyscalculia I missed out on grammar school, which means being doomed in society.

Who else has hidden the loath and fear of numbers pretending fleeing, avoiding etc. The fear is real… no one must know. Stupid name dyscalculia. When I was 6 the Teacher hit me around the head with a book … was i so awful her frustration got the better of her. Or was she in a foul mood and took it out on me creating a Math phobia for me? It’s the brain switch off that bothers me so much … 😮‍💨😞 The Anxiety is instant the second your in a position to have to deal with numbers infront of people.

Would you please be able to make a version that is not so slow and uses metric? (Just that my high school kids are likely to find the slow speech to be aimed at younger kids). Thanks - you're doing great work

Thank you for helping me to understand what I go through for different especially math. I love math but cannot do it. I would not recommend trying to take college math classes online.

I have ADHD, Autism and Dyscalculia... Didn't find out until I was in my 30's. I think my biggest issues are visual tracking and alignment, and also the vocabulary was never properly explained to me. Since math equations can be written in several different ways, the problems I already had with visual tracking due to dyslexia was compounded in maths. I've recently started to re-teach myself maths with some study books for kids and it's been eye opening and also somewhat frustrating to know that I could've had a chance if somebody had actually tried to help me. Instead, all they did was get upset with me for failing grades and make me do tests. Being told you're "wasted potential" for your entire childhood is really painful. I don't know how much finally learning maths is going to change my life. I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at a clock face and "get it", I don't know if I'll ever be able to not get lost while driving. But it feels good to know I'm not inherently "damaged".

Yesssss thank you for sharing this.

Could you write the name of the resources and the names that you mentioned please.

Can I get the information of this neuropsychologist please.

Is there a program that I can get for my son , he is in high school know but he is dealing for ever , in this high school they have tutoring after school and he always stays at least for his math homework that takes something 2:30 minutes only math. He had tutoring for 3 years and one tutor mentioned that he thought he has dyscalculia and he explained to us what it is. I am being trying to get an assessment in school and with his doctor with not luck. For him took years to remember my phone number and I still asking him every month or so because he used to remember and then he forgot. He started to sleep all afternoon after school like he is so tired and his doctor did test for diabetes, tiroides and drugs but he was fine for all of that and finally he said that maybe was stress and he referred him to psychology before he went with one but all he said was that he is very smart and very mature for his age and he think very different but in smart way his soccer coach think same way that he is very respectful and smart that is why for me befor I know about dyscalculia was difficult to me understand how my son was getting awards for critical thinking but he was not good at math 🤔 so, after I new I try to help him by getting information with video like this, and reading about it. Thank you and I will appreciate any advice 😊

Who’s messing with my x…. My experience is those cute phrases distract and confuse… similar to queens and kings, big on bottom go next door, alligator mouth… it might help to get through assignment at hand but not in long run and they confuse and distract.

I am the most stupid place in the world and my parents tell me to act my age and being put down and I've been ignored for a great time and I have had a reapted failure and I can never get it right and I just can't do time test and that how I was prodeicted and a in my nat 5 apps ifmaths and I got a d .
