Unlock access to mathematics for students with dyscalculia by creating an inclusive environment where all your students can experience the joy of math!

Despite being as common as dyslexia, much less research has been done on dyscalculia (also known as a math learning disability). Many educators are unsure how best to support students with dyscalculia, particularly when these students have challenges with foundational number concepts. This groundbreaking book offers a fresh, assets-based perspective on students with dyscalculia with an in-depth exploration of their mathematical thinking.

Through detailed examples, this book guides educators in understanding how to look and listen for the access barriers students may encounter and how to provide meaningful supports to help students navigate around these barriers. By taking this mathematical journey with your students, you will uncover their unique strengths, support them in navigating through barriers, and help them unlock their mathematical potential.

Features include:

Detailed vignettes illustrating the specific difficulties students face with quantities and symbolic notation
Practical assessment tools, including clinical interviews, to truly understand your students' mathematical thinking
Research-based instructional practices that blend student sense-making with vital access strategies
Actionable guidance for partnering with families to support mathematics learning at home

By honoring neurodiversity through these practical strategies, you'll create an inclusive environment where all your students can experience the joy of mathematical success.
