Dyslexia and Mathematics

Dyslexia and Mathematics, 9780415049870 (0415049873), Routledge, 1991

"The articles are well written; contain accurate, useful information helpful to teachers of all students. . . . If you deal with dyslexic students in a mathematics setting, you should read and keep this book for your reference library." -- William Rogge, Lincoln Northeast High School, Mathematics Teacher - 10/92

As dyslexia is seen primarily as a limitation in the ability to learn the use of words and other symbols, special ways have been found to teach the notation of mathematics. Using case studies and analysis, the six contributors to Dyslexia and Mathematics show how the needs of dyslexic children, at various ages and levels, differ. They present alternative strategies and approaches in dealing with specific problems.

Throughout the book the need for practice as opposed to memorizing symbols is continually emphasized, and the skill of the dyslexic at pattern recognition is fully taken into account. All contributors have had experience in teaching dyslexic children at various levels.
