For me, such a game would be much longer because my dominos go up to twelve.

Love this tip!

God bless you! Have just hit the dyscalculia wall with miss 8 (Home Ed). I’m an engineer and it has been quite a learning curve to discover how she ticks.

this is an awsum vid very informative n alot easier to understand then others and actually about discalculia not dyslexia. didn't get my diagnosis till was 37 n my mom argued alot with my teachers about my using my fingers since she found a book that taught how to count to 99 on my fingers n one o my cousins who is dyslexic ga e me some tips about times tables tho i only remembrcthe one for 9's

THANK YOU!! ❤❤❤❤

If I have to time something cooking I look at my watch and I can't work out when the food will be done. I have to see a clock face or even draw one. Or use my fingers and count out loud. I'm 55.

I was diagnosed last year with ADHD in my 50s and I'm medicated. Dyscalculia symptoms feel very familiar. Over the last 15 years or so I've attended endless adult maths classes and private lessons but little sticks. I can't afford an assessment as on benefits. Do you think any of your books and resources might help? Even though it feels like I've tried everything I'm willing to try anything new. Thank you.

I have just taken my child out of school as he was suffering with bad anxiety, he started to refuse going in. He was always so anxious going into hes maths lesson. After home educating him for 1 month I can see why. He understanding of maths is so low. I brought your book."The tool kit" Everything is falling into place now, I can fully understand hes fear of maths. I have started to teach maths following your techniques, so far it has been a great success.

I wore digital watches my whole life. I just got an analog watch a week ago and I am having problems reading it. Haha

ThankYOU

My problem is that my watch has only hour hand and minute hand its difficult for me but i can easily get time in a watch with atleast the lines for hours and minutes

Question when were trying to close the gap say we have four in a row the dots or the total value don't match for the last one and the tile one over but it does match a tile 2 over can we remove the two tiles to close the gap or can you only close the gap with one tile in the middle or can you close the gap with 2 or 3 tiles in the middle?

I have just learned that I have dyscalculia (I am 37) and so does my son (7)...this is really difficult to help him when I have difficulty with math and I have accumulated a life time of learning to hate numbers.

Are you supposed to be aiming for a high or low score at the end?

Glad I'm not the only one who forgot how to tell time on an analog clock.

I remember these as a 7yr old in the early 60s. the coloured rods and making up units of 10 was easily assimilated.. we were non decimal then with money but this took me back when we went decimal and it was easier to assign the skills to it in the mid 70s in the UK

Oh lord this was me. I’ve never heard this explained so clearly. Every single time I was presented with even a fairly simple addition, I would have to start from scratch counting it. The fact never stuck. It also took me until my late teens (when I started driving!) to have a shaky grasp on right/left, and I remember having horrible struggles to read an analog clock. I NEVER was able to memorize times tables.

I use the area model, too. Visualizing is great but the area model is also conceptually correct even for real numbers. You cannot repetitively add pi times square root of 2, but the product still exists, as the area exists, too.

thank you

Hello. Congratulations about your amazing work helping so many children and adults. Let me just say that if you want your videos become more popular you can put #dyscalculia and #asmanywords as possible related to the video in the description area. And thank you very much! 🙏

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It is useful! We'll try it!

I LEARNED TO READ MY WATCH🤩🥳

Hello, I'm 14 and I struggle with math I forget everything about it, I don't understand it my brother is so much better at it them im at it, and he's younger thans me, its so frustaerating..

Good for you. This was very helpful. I hope your books become successful

Thanks

I am sure my daughter has dyscalculia, so I will have her tested. Two things came to my mind. Firstly, I had the biggest problems with Text/ written exercises in maths, because I read the little story which triggered my imagination and story telling talent (and the respective brain part) but then - which to me seemed all of a sudden - I was meant to do maths. This was always too much for my brain, because I didnt want to leave the thinking area I felt confindent in and which had just been roused only to shut it down and then switch to the maths brain Part which was much weaker and uncomfortable. Also I was completely confused by chemistry at school since letters which I loved and to which I felt a deep connection were used in a "number way". I asked my teacher how it would be possible to use letters for doing math?! This was totally beyond imagination for my brain. Letters yes, maths no. Maths with letters equalled confusion... So I will give my best to try to feel with my daughter. Thank you. :-)

Thanks so much this helped my son and he now gets it!!

Hello, I have three of your Books. Overcoming Difficulties with Numbers Dyscalculia Toolkit Dyscalculia Resource Book. I have a 9 year old who is ok in math but slow in Mental maths. Which book should I start first? I have another 11 year old who has dyscalculia. Which book to start with her first?

Excellent presentation!

I've played this for MANY years---but the way I was taught the face cardshave to be the same suit (KQJ10)---4 combos of 4 ---plus making 15 in same suit. When done correctly all cards are used up. I also wish I knew what the name of this game is. It's quite challenging and can be frustrating and lots of shuffling!

This game is perfect! It’s exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you!

concrete materials are too heavy ;)

I have learned that I have dyscalculia when I was 51 years old. Now I am 54 years old lady. It takes longer time to understand math for us.

I scored 2

Thank you! This helped so much!

Fun game. Lowest score wins

I don't know if I'm doing this wrong but on my first try I got 9 and on my second I got 16

What age would you start this with?

yes

I'm ok with Words, I like words and reading but numbers this is how it works, complete black out or imagine numbers leaving the page and start swirling around in the air, and then trying to catch them and put them back on the page to try and work something out, my memory is terrible too I have to continually go over the things

I'm 53 I've struggled terribly all my life, in school I thought I was THICK.

I know how to read the analogue clock. But my mom just got me a watch _without_ any numbers in it so it takes me a while to tell the time it is. Other than that, it's embarrassing when one of my classmates asks me what time it is and blankly stare at my watch waiting for my two braincells to think of something.

Thanks this helped. At the end of the vid i got the quiz right.

Though how do you use a wrist watch that doesn't have the lines or any numbers...just a watch.

Thank you helped so much!

i had trouble with addition in 6 grade but not the others. after a head injury at 19 i couldnt do math over 3rd grade. i had to relearn times tables,division etc

parietal lobe is math area/

thank you this is very helpful

This game would work better if the goal was to get a score of a minimum number rather than a maximum number. This is because we want to be rewarded for the REMOVAL of tiles which is the most demanding part of the game. Otherwise we are rewarded for mistakes by overlooking combinations and patterns. As we get a little proficient competing against the clock - timing each session would add some spice.

To me its kinda sad that people dont know / aren't tought how to use an analogue clock. There is one sitting 6 feet away from me on the wall right now
