Who Do I Help?

  • Children struggling to understanding and apply number concepts, facts, mathematical vocabulary and word problems
  • Children with poor counting skills and knowledge of counting strategies
  • Children with specific learning difficulties, including dyscalculia, dyslexia, dysgraphia, Specific Language Impairment and auditory or visual processing difficulties
  • Children with a slow processing speed or a weak working or short-term memory

How Do I Help?

  • Individualised, positive, engaging and success oriented lessons
  • Planned, sequential instruction, progressing from teacher modelling ‘I do’ to guided practice ‘We do’ and finally, independent practice ‘You do’
  • Multisensory instruction incorporating visual, auditory and kinaesthetic activities
  • Progression from ‘hands-on’ activities (e.g. cubes) to visual representations (e.g. pictures and diagrams) and finally formal notation and abstract concepts
  • Variety of mathematical games and educational software
  • Continual review of learnt skills
  • Regular, ongoing monitoring of progress
