Description
Struggling with numbers isn’t always about effort.
Dyscalculia is a learning disability that makes it hard to understand math concepts and work with numbers. It can affect even the most basic skills, like the concept of larger or smaller numbers or estimating amounts.
It affects around 3 to 8 percent of school-age kids. But most schools have no clear way to identify these students or help them.
A new report from the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) lays out what needs to change: early screening, clear evaluation standards, teacher training, and tracking who actually gets help.
