Dyscalculia
Symptoms
-
Difficulty
quickly converting the concept of numbers to their concrete
representation. (i.e., the written number 4 equates to 4 actual
things).
The need to tap
or count out numbers on one's figures.
-
Difficulty
memorizing math tables
-
Difficulty
counting or skip counting in sequence
-
Difficulty with
basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division concepts,
often needing to rely on alternative methods to solution problems
(counting on fingers, drawing diagrams, etc.)
- Difficulty
telling time
- Difficulty with
remembering rules of a game (cards, sports, etc.)
Note that
like other learning difficulties such as AD/HD and Dyslexia, Dyscalculia
exists despite the fact that someone has an adequate intellectual capacity
and has had appropriate schooling.
