Course | Developing Numeracy Skills in Learners with Dyslexia and Dyscalculia

Enhance Support for Pupils With Numeracy-Related Difficulties With This Short Online Course

This unit explores the critical link between mathematical thinking, memory, and attention, detailing common mathematical difficulties experienced by learners with dyslexia and co-occurring difficulties, including the association of ‘number sense’ with dyscalculia.

Extensively updated, the course provides a fresh perspective for practitioners, integrating theory with practical strategies. New content includes reference to the latest Delphi dyslexia and SASC dyscalculia definitions, a video on effective teaching approaches, and expanded coverage of structured materials and metacognition.

You will gain a valuable insight into how learner attributes can shape maths instruction, alongside new tools, resources, and dedicated sections on maths fluency, anxiety, and global engagement.
