ABOUT THE COURSE
This course aims to enable participants in understanding and supporting learners who have difficulties with Mathematics, including those with dyslexia. In Singapore, the prevalence of dyslexia amongst the population is estimated to be 10% of which 4% will have dyslexia severe enough to warrant intervention. Students with dyslexia have been found to display difficulties in learning Mathematics. Hence, this course provides theoretical and practical knowledge of Mathematical learning, and understand how individual differences affect the learning of Mathematics. It is designed to give both professionals and family members a valuable overview of how to support struggling learners in Mathematics through identifying and assessing individual needs, as well as practical strategies in supporting these learners.

TARGET AUDIENCE
The target audience may be a teacher who needs an insight into how to cope with teaching Mathematics to struggling learners in the classroom, a parent who wants to support their child at home or other professionals and specialists who support students with learning differences.

Learners who may benefit from the strategies shared in the course include :

A learner in primary school who struggles with the times table and the basic four operations
(addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).
An older learner who has a weak foundation of long multiplication and division, multiplication and division of fractions.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Understand the learning differences relating to Mathematics
Understand the implications of dyslexia on Mathematics
Conduct an informal assessment to identify the mathematical needs of students with dyslexia
Appreciate the elements of a Maths lesson and use of teaching/learning materials through the
Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach
Apply knowledge and skills to support learners struggling with place value, the four basic
operations, and basic word problems
