Full Description
Dyscalculia and Numeracy: New Strategies for Helping Dyscalculic Students Master Math presents a groundbreaking framework for addressing dyscalculia and numeracy challenges.
Drawing on Professor Mahesh Sharma's extensive research, this book introduces the CPVA/S model—an evolution of the CPA model—that integrates cognitive development, effective questioning, and language strategies to foster deep mathematical understanding, helping to ensure that all students, regardless of learning difficulties, can master numeracy. The book provides diagnostic tools for early intervention and practical strategies to build confidence, prevent math anxiety, and ensure long-term success. This text is more than a guide for dyscalculia; it offers transformative solutions for all students.
By addressing the root causes of learning difficulties, it equips educators, parents, and researchers with actionable strategies to help children thrive in mathematics and develop a love for learning.
