10 Strategies for Managing Dyscalculia

Provide differentiated instruction

Differentiated instruction is a teaching technique that involves giving the same information to your students at a variety of different levels to allow all of them to learn at their own pace. The technique was first created to help ESL students learn class material even if they cannot speak the language fluently. However, it has become a popular effective strategy for managing dyscalculia. Differentiated instruction helps prevent confusion so it is effective for managing dyscalculia [3].

It is important for teachers to change the way they deliver the information, but not the actual information when providing differentiated instruction. For instance, to provide differentiated instruction in a math class, teachers can explain the same concepts in complex and simple language and can use different diagrams or demonstrations to make the concept easier to understand.
