Math Correction Program
The Dyslexia Unlearned Math Program is a one week program (typically Monday through Friday, 9 to 4) that centers totally on the student. The approach is one-on-one and tailored to each student’s specific needs. It is respectful to the student and is presented in a stress free center that teaches the student to utilize his or her gifts.
Math dyslexia is often undiagnosed. Some symptoms are:
- difficulty learning or retaining math procedures
- difficulty telling time
- difficulty planning and completing a task
- difficulty following math instructions
- difficulty setting priorities, scheduling activities and sequencing
- difficulty understand symbols
Math is about reason and logic. To have reason and logic, a person must have the underlying developmental concepts in place. These concepts are usually in place by third grade. For some people these concepts are elusive and need to be taught. Without these concepts making life work can be difficult and frustrating.
The developmental concepts are modeled in clay. The student will:
- model numerals, symbols and words in clay
- learn place value
- be able to do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems in clay and on paper
- create a clay model for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
Prerequisite for the math correction program is the reading correction program.
