Place Value

First day of school holidays! Focus is on teaching Place Value - Units and Tens initially. We wil try the Base Ten game today. I'm also thinking of other ways to re-inforce this and move on to Hundreds also. Will try with three random numbers and ask to arrange into highest value possible, which should give a good insight....

Will then move on to working through the Tony Attwood workbook - Practical Activities for children with Dyscalculia.

Update - the Base Ten game (see links) worked really well, kids enjoyed it and found it good fun.

Introduction

This blog is all about my experiences with my son who has been diagnosed as Dyscalculic at the age of 8. It is a way of me recording his progress, providing access to useful resources and providing information and support to other parents. I hope you find it useful.
