Dyscalculia isn’t just being poor at maths; it is caused by differences in the structure and patterns in the brain. Professor Butterworth uniquely and radically links the most current neuroscience to pedagogical practice, explaining how science can be used for the identification of dyscalculia, and providing a simple and reliable way of predicting how well pupils acquire arithmetical competence. Backed up by topical research, he provides robust interventions that focus on helping pupils to strengthen the ability to process numerosities and to link them to the familiar number symbols, counting words and digits. Also included is a set of practical activities and number games for classroom use.
