lucyfan70 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 My dd12 is having issues with math. She has for some time now but I thought it was just carelessness. But then someone mention dyscalculia to me and now I believe that is what she has. For example I don't know how many times I have told her not to add denominators and she continues to do this. She knows the answer when ask orally but then when she writes it down she doesn't get it right. I need to know where to go from here. She needs to be tested and I need to know some techniques to help her. Can anyone help?? Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 One suggestion is being a scribe for her, in other words she tells you the answer and you write it down for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Look for material that teaches conceptual under standing, e.g. WHY we don't add denominators. Does she fair better if you scribe for her/writing on a computer or whiteboard/ picking out the answer from multiple choices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
