Maths Anxiety, Dyscalculia and the Classroom

Maths difficulties are best thought of as a continuum or spectrum. Dyscalculia falls at one end of this spectrum and is defined as a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers which can lead to a range of difficulties with mathematics. Dyscalculia occurs across all age ranges, levels of education and abilities.

Maths anxiety can be defined as a negative emotional or physical response to maths. The prevalence of co-occurrence of dyscalculia, maths anxiety and other learning differences is significant.

Join Rob Jennings and Cat Eadle of The Dyscalculia Network, in conversation with Andy Small, Assessment Specialist at GL Education, to further explore the implications of maths-specific challenges faced in classrooms worldwide.
