Dyscalculia and Maths Learning Difficulties Conference - Edinburgh, 27th April 2010Tandi will be presenting: 'Seeing and Doing Numeracy' at our Dyscalculia Conference being held in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 27th April 2010, below is a summary of her presentation:Our pupils understand mathematics in different ways. Some can grasp ideas and concepts presented on the printed page quite easily, but others respond more readily to pictures and models which they can see and manipulate. So how can we make it all ‘click’ for pupils who struggle to access a numeracy curriculum that is bound up in books and assessments? In this session Tandi Clausen-May will explore some of the materials and approaches we can use to take numbers and shapes off the printed page, making them meaningful for pupils who think more easily in pictures and actions than in words.
