The first volume of Dyscalculia Resources for Enlightened SENCOs, covering counting to 20, recognising numerals, comparing magnitudes and thinking in groups.

Over 100 activities working on fundamental maths skills, arranged into the following sections: Counting to 10; Recognising Numerals 1 to 10; Comparing Magnitudes; Thinking in Groups of Two or More; Recognising Numbers 11 to 20; Counting Across the First Decade; Counting from 11 to 20.

The activities in each section are divided into Introductory, Medium Difficulty, and Confident. They cover the raw maths skills listed above, but also explore the connections of maths to nature, art, and sport.

Each activity has an analysis sheet to guide you in detail through the skills needed to succeed at that activity and help you explore potential reasons for your pupil’s struggles. Alongside this, there is a General Analysis section which can be used with any maths the pupil is working on.

The activities are designed mainly for one-to-one work, though several can be used with the whole class.

A comprehensive introduction includes a discussion on research into dyscalculia and maths anxiety, and helps you to
learn how to connect teaching with a dyscalculic child’s way of thinking.
