Effective Teaching Strategies for Dyscalculia and Learning Difficulties in Mathematics provides an essential bridge between scientific research and practical interventions with children. It unpacks what we know about the possible cognitive causation of mathematical difficulties in order to improve teaching and therefore learning.
Each chapter considers a specific domain of children's numerical development: counting and the understanding of numbers, understanding of the base-10 system, arithmetic, word problem solving, and understanding rational numbers. The accessible guidance includes a literature review on each topic, surveying how each process develops in children, the difficulties encountered at that level by some pupils, and the intervention studies that have been published. It guides the reader step-by-step through practical guidelines of how to assess these processes and how to build an intervention to help children master them.
Illustrated throughout with examples of materials used in the effective interventions described, this essential guide offers deep understanding and effective strategies for developmental and educational psychologists, special educational needs and/or disabilities coordinators, and teachers working with children experiencing mathematical difficulties.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"In this engaging book, Noel and Karagiannakis provide a state-of-the art, evidence-based overview of methods and tools to help children with mathematical learning difficulties, such as Developmental Dyscalculia. This book represents an invaluable resources for educators working with students who present with mathematical learning difficulties"
Daniel Ansari, Full Professor at the Department of Psychology & Faculty of Education, University of Western Ontario
"Crammed with research evidence, diagrammatic illustrations and worked examples, this book is a one-stop-shop for everything an education professional might need to know about working with those with difficulties in learning mathematics. This book will be useful to mathematics teachers keen to understand dyscalculia, to educational psychologists and SENDCOs wanting to learn more about intervention strategies and mathematics, and to researchers and academics wanting a thorough grounding in these topics."
Kay Kempers, FHEA, Lecturer in Special Educational Needs, Disability and Inclusion at Carnegie School of Education, Leeds Beckett University
