Primary numeracy,
Secondary literacy and numeracy

Description:
Students with dyscalculia will encounter difficulties with mathematical concepts and calculations, and left unsupported may struggle with problem-solving and mathematical reasoning. This will impact on the student’s learning capability across all areas of the curriculum, particularly in subjects heavily reliant on mathematical skills. Teachers can create a learning environment and use instructional practices that maximise the learning outcomes for all students, those with and without dyscalculia. In this session, the presenter will outline typical indicators of a student who is experiencing dyscalculia; some effective strategies for supporting the student in the classroom; and the session will also highlight specialist organisations and resources that can be accessed for further support.  This session is suitable for Casual Relief Teachers who may be working one to one or with small groups.

Standards addressed:

• 1.5.2 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of learners across the full range of abilities
• 1.6.2 Strategies to support full participation of learners with disability
