Frequently Asked Questions About The Dyscalculia Resource Book

How does The Dyscalculia Resource Book help children with dyslexia or dyscalculia?

The resource uses short, structured games that break maths into clear, repeatable steps, which can reduce overload for children who find reading, memory, or processing speed hard; many activities rely on visual support, hands-on tasks, and simple instructions, so pupils do not need to read long texts, and this can help children with dyslexia or dyscalculia focus on understanding number, patterns, and operations instead of struggling with dense written work, making it easier to build confidence lesson by lesson.

What age group is this book suitable for?

The book is written for children aged 7 to 14, which covers late primary and early secondary years, so it works well for pupils who are just starting to meet formal methods in maths, and also for older learners who need extra practice with number, recall, and mixed operations without using babyish resources.

What types of activities are included in the book?

The book includes 120 games and puzzles that target number sense, basic facts, and mixed operations, with a special section that helps children switch between addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; tasks are designed as short puzzles, partner games, and quick challenges, so they can be used in whole-class teaching, small groups, or one-to-one support.

Is this book suitable for use at home as well as in school?

Yes, the resource works well for parents and carers at home because the activities are ready to use, with clear instructions and simple materials, so adults do not need specialist training to guide their child, and the short games can slot into homework routines, tutoring sessions, or weekend practice without feeling like another long worksheet.

Are there any extra materials or online support included?

The book comes with access to a companion website that offers printable versions of key resources and demo videos that show how to run the games and puzzles, which helps both teachers and parents see each activity in action, save planning time, and set up tasks correctly for learners who need clear structure and repetition.
