Dyspraxia and doing mathematics

Dyspraxia is... a specific learning difficulty that affects the brain's ability to plan sequences of movement. a condition which leads to many varied difficulties often not taken seriously seriously affects success in mathematics

Normality, whatever that is An old-fashioned analysis of diversity Normal Not normal Different Weird Eccentric etc.

Neuro-diversity – different ways of thinking Dyspraxia Dyslexia Dyscalculia ADHD Autism Tourettes

Hell is severe problems with... ISSUESCHOOL/MATHS PROBLEMS Gross motor skillClumsy; uncoordinated; poor posture; fatigue; problems using equipment Reading and writing skillsUntidy writing; Incomplete sentences; Frequent ‘careless’ mistakes; Reversing digits; Misreading questions Spacetime skillsFrequently lost, disorientated or late Visual problemsTrouble keeping place reading/reading from tables; poor relocating board to paper; errors copying Memory and attention spanPoor attention span; Poor short term memory; Difficulty remembering details Oral problemsUnclear speech; take time to organise thoughts Over-sensitive to touch or soundCan’t shut out noise; Can’t concentrate in groups; Easily distracted; Easily overloaded; Often uncomfortable CognitionDifficulty executing a method; Difficulty planning; must understand principles. At risk of poor self- esteem.

Heaven is unusually good.. ISSUESCHOOL/MATHS BENEFITS Creative and original thinking??? Good problem solving skills??? Good strategic thinking??? Highly motivated and determinedWill work towards a goal Individuality???

Some errors of the past Forcing left-handed people to write with their right hands. Forcing homosexual people to ‘conform’. Forcing dyslexics to learn their tables by rote. Repeatedly punishing those who struggle to fit in with traditional schooling.

Key teaching suggestions - Remember that students might be – Distracted – Feeling tired or uncomfortable – Confused – Overloaded – Flustered, disorganised and forgetful Give clear handouts. Give time to frame and answer questions. Allow students to take regular breaks. Encourage students, emphasising strengths. Be patient; avoid making assumptions about IQ. Remember that your way might not be their way.
