- In this webinar, we'll be showing you how dyslexia (a language-based processing issue) affects math.
We'll discuss:
- Is it dyscalculia or ???
- Processes needed to be successful in math
- Show how dyslexia affects math and how you can help

When I used to have to take the state speed math tests. I work on a couple, then I'd just color the dots and not even try.
I'm an adult now, but I had a hard time, still do.
Math brings me to tears. LITERALLY.
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!
For my son, it got better and helped that as he progressed in math he could use a calculator to help him remember. He is gifted in math except for the recall of basic math facts! Go figure!
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.
Wow! We need more of this content! Thank you so much. (Kent, UK)
More to come! Got any requests? We're starting a new segment soon called the MFM Advice Corner.
@@MadeforMath Thanks, well for me, my son is 12, and also may have ADD. But I would really like practial activites that cover that age and beyond as there seeems to more on the topics at younger ages. i.e how teachers can use manipulatives in a mainstream classroom or IT and visuals. Unfortunatly inthe UK, I am finding most 'qualified teachers' dont even seem to really understand the HOW
to teach kids with dyslexia and maths. They just go slower and longer and give extra time.
I like it when you back up with reference to research etc as I often encounter resistance with the school. Many thanks !
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 dysgraphia, but I am trying to find a way I can get through nursing school.
Right now I am having difficulty in dosage calculations. My instructor is a sweet heart and has given me a few ideas on how to do this, which had me remembering that I had dysgraphia and now I am doing the slow internet spiral ❤️
How’s this going? What I’d recommend is making a near-point reference (a cheat sheet) you can keep in your pocket to remind you of formulas and the most common dosages
ME TOO!!!!!
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 have dylexia i try to.do the work. But i cant i cant focused. I cant understand. Its.so hard
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.
I have dyslexia my mom has dyscalculia so barely help with homework we also both have dysgraphia
My 14yo son has all 3, plus ADHD. Still trying to learn how to help him with schoolwork, especially math.
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
Hi Capreace! I'd love to help you. What are you specifically curious about? It's not uncommon for students to get bogged down in multiple subjects at school. The anxiety alone interferes with his learning. One place you could start is by going through the questions in our Accommodations generator. This will generate a report that gives you actionable items to help your son: madeformath.com/accommodations-generator/
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😅
I was the kid with a messy backpack, binder.
I'm still that way and I can't stand it.
Hi, great presentation, but unfortunatelly it does not answer my problem 😕 I am currently struggling to get my dyslectic brother through high school maths. Do you know how can I help him get better at working out equations and specifically not missing variables and signs?
I thought about making him write numbers in different color than variables and signs white doing homework. Is that a good idea or would it mess up with his work during classess?
@@nie_julka Well in the video they said try circling operations like + and X (variables & signs). I usually color code a step or a type of sequence. Also, I whould color code in class and durring test otherwise, there was nothing to latch onto when I was sitting there floundering. There is also a whole section about the C-R-A approch in this video I don't know if you got to that section but might be helpful. Perhaps re-watch from 23:12/ 51:51:54? I took notes on video and she had a lot of tip setions. ( sorry dont know how to timestamp.) ( I don't know if you still need a response a month later, but good luck. :))) ( I have Dyslexia btw )
@@Nommis. yeah, thanks for that
Another chant we do with students is: circles and diamonds and squares OH MY! We use the shapes to help student eyes to slow down, and identify the terms in the equations. Then we can combine those shapes with their signs
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.
