4. Write Out the Problem
Some students may respond better to a demonstration that others. Typically, those individuals affected by dyscalculia are more visual than they are verbal in their communication skills. Therefore, some students may not belong in math class and should seek another learning path that involves other skills, such as the arts.
However, some students may find that they relate to words better than images or numbers. For this group, writing out math problems may provide the same benefit as using demonstration, as discussed in the example above.
For those students who are dealing with dyscalculia, math problems take a general appearance, with numbers merely representing marks on a piece of paper. Talking through the problem with the student, and writing down a systemic approach to handling the calculation may help them understand how to overcome their issue with understanding the logic involved with problem-solving.
Writing out the problem helps to create a relationship between the elements involved, helping to organize the information on hand while looking for a solution.
