When we hear dyslexia, we think reading and writing, but 80% of people with Specific language impairment and 31% of people with ADHD struggle with math. Yet, many students miss out on high-quality mathematics remediation because the attention of schools and parents is so frequently focused on reading and writing. Join Board certified educational therapist Diana Kennedy to learn the symptoms and causes of Math Learning Disabilities and their relationships with dyslexia and ADHD, what those difficulties look like, and the best way to address them. Walk away with ideas for games, lessons, and approaches to help your students excel in math.
Integrate, increment, scaffold and be explicit: Four pillars of math instruction for all our kids
Approximately 30% of students with ADHD and between 70-80% of students with dyslexia struggle with math. That means you probably have students who need support in math every bit as much as they need support in reading and writing. But do you feel as prepared to help them? Join Board-Certified Diana Black Kennedy to explore dyscalculia and learn best practices to address it. Walk away with a solid framework for teaching math, as well as specific games for addressing a wide range of math-related weaknesses.
Using Math Games to Develop Number Sense, Combat Anxiety & Differentiate Instruction
Think of three words to describe your math students’ attitude towards math. Did excited, engaged and enthusiastic come to mind? Or something more like anxious, avoidant and confused? We know that math anxiety shuts down students’ brains, that most students hate the amount of practice needed to memorize math facts and master procedures, and that if a student is missing number sense they are dead in the water. Join BCET Diana Black Kennedy to learn how and why games are key to teaching math, and most importantly, to learn a whole bunch of them!
