This set of 10 lessons is designed according to evidence-based teaching methods in maths and research on the cognitive and neurological aspects of dyscalculia. The sessions are designed to be used with and/or adapted for small groups of older learners who may have only recently been diagnosed and begun to receive support. Sessions can also be tailored to suit one-to-one sessions. This program is different to many others in that 'gaps in knowledge' are not assumed to be the only areas of concern; this program is a 'back to basics' approach, incorporating multi-modal and multi-sensory teaching and learning, with the development of 'number sense' as its primary concern. The sessions are explicit and systematic, so should be followed in order: 1. Subitisation 2. Creating Numbers 3. Calculations with the Number Line 4. Number Bonds and Partitioning 5. Base 10 and Place Value 6. Calculations using Place Value 7. Multiplication as Repeat Addition 8. Multiplication: Hints, Tips and Tricks 9. Division: Sharing and Inverse Multiplication 10. The Continuous Number Line: Parts of Numbers The file comes with 95 full colour pages of detailed session plans and all printable resources required for each session. Session 1 of this intervention is available for free.

This worksheet works well with the SQ3R reading approach. It is a template that students can use when reading for research purposes. It is in Word 2010 format with no protection, therefore it can be edited to suit your needs. This template encourages students to identify the main points of a text and summarise these points. It also gives the opportunity to distinguish between quoting and paraphrasing. Students have found this particularly useful in discussions, seminars and for revision purposes. Students with SpLDs have found it particularly useful for keeping their notes clear and organised.

This is simply an attractive introduction to the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recall, Review) approach. It outlines all the actions required within each step. It could be enlarged to use as a classroom poster, or could be used as a hand-out for students. The SQ3R approach is particularly useful for reading journal articles and book chapters for understanding, for information for coursework and for revision purposes.

Session 1 of 10 of The Dyscovery Approach: "The main aim of this session is to start improving the skill of subitisation (i.e. the ability to recognise the number of objects in a group without counting). This is commonly a weak area for learners with dyscalculia. It is useful to be able to automatically recognise small groups of objects without having to count them individually. Drill and rote practice of counting are not helpful for learners with dyscalculia. This session aims to introduce number patterns to enable learners to ‘see’ numbers as quantities and sizes rather than a list of number words. Learners will also begin to recognise how larger numbers can be ‘split’ into groups of smaller numbers."
