Dyscalculia in children is a specific learning difficulty that affects their ability to understand and work with numbers. Children with dyscalculia may have difficulty recognising numbers, understanding basic mathematical concepts, performing arithmetic operations, and solving mathematical problems.
The signs of dyscalculia in children can vary, but some common symptoms include:
Difficulty recognising numbers and symbols
Struggles with counting, including counting objects and understanding the order of numbers
Difficulty with basic arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
Difficulty with more complex maths concepts, such as fractions, decimals, and percentages
Difficulty telling time and understanding the concepts of time and money
Difficulty with spatial awareness and geometry
Dyscalculia can be diagnosed by a professional, such as a psychologist or educational specialist, who will assess the child's mathematical abilities and compare them to the expected developmental milestones.
