Around 6% of the population are dyscalculic. This means that in every class of 30 pupils, there are likely to be 2 children who will experience difficulties associated with dyscalculia.

Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty that occurs worldwide and is not more prevalent in one country than another. The research and strategies referred to will be applicable whatever your country of origin. However, the references to assessment and further professional development are UK based.

Although there is not as much research into dyscalculia as there is for dyslexia, there is still a substantial body of research in this area and some strategies will work for some children and some for others. Teachers are advised to consider the advice here in the light of the context in which they are teaching and then to make their own professional judgements about how to work with the individual students they have – always seeking advice from specialists if possible.

The following link details some case studies of people with dyscalculia
