Dyscalculia activities 2: shapes, fractions, percentages
(Parents edition)
Formerly named Maths for the Dyscalculic Pupil:Shapes, Percentages and Fractions

This book follows on from Practical Activities and uses the same multi-sensory techniques that have proved successful in the earlier book. As before the book requires no additional equipment or materials save for a collection of counters (also available from First and Best).

One of the huge benefits of this approach is that it not only works with children who have the genetic disorder which gives rise to dyscalculia, it also benefits those children who are failing to grasp mathematical concepts because of interrupted schooling, home problems or even a maths aversion which has developed because of early failure. Experience suggests that a short period of using multi-sensory techniques can be enough to overcome such problems and bring the pupil back to the class average.

Shapes, percentages and fractions can be used at home. Each activity within the book can be completed within a maximum of ten minutes, thus allowing the parent to stop the work the moment the child shows signs of maths-aversion, frustration or tiredness.
