can you explain dyscaculia more in depth ?
This website gives a really good breakdown of dyscalculia, and I highly suggest reading it.Â
ADDitude breaks down what dyscalculia can look like in adults:
Monetary transactions, DIY projects, or even a friendly game of pick-up football may be sidelined by dyscalculia. At home, symptoms might include:
Trouble doing mental math; gives incorrect change, for instance, or needs a calculator to figure out a tip
Frequently late, occasionally missing important events altogether
Finds it difficult to remember names
Often drives too fast or too slow, or vastly misjudges how long it will take to drive somewhere
Needs to write down a phone number immediately to remember it
Gets lost easily; misplaces objects around the house frequently
Struggles to keep score in games; often loses track of whose turn it is
Slow to tell time on an analog clock
Poor memory for anything number-related, like dates or facts
Struggles to learn dance steps or anything involving motor sequencing
Even if your job doesnât directly involve math, you may still be confronted with it at work. If you have dyscalculia, symptoms in the workplace may include:
Gets anxious at the thought of having to do math unexpectedly at work
Trouble handling money or keeping track of finances
Frequently runs out of time while doing a task, or fails to plan enough time for all the things that need to be done
Trouble understanding graphs or charts
Finds it hard to understand spoken math equations, even very simple ones
Skips numbers or transposes them when reading a long list or spreadsheet
Finds it difficult to use Excel formulas
Uses fingers to count or marks pages with tally marks to keep track of numbers
Often gets several different answers to the same math problem; needs to check work over and over again
Unable to remember math rules or times tables
This is a self-test from ADDitude to see if you might have dyscalculia.
