The Dyscalculia Toolkit: Supporting Learning Difficulties in Maths (Corwin Ltd) Paperback – 6 May 2021

I’ve been using various copies of this for years. Very practical - children enjoy the games and explorations. Great for giving children a deeper understanding of number and number facts.

The media could not be loaded.

As a primary school teacher and tutor, I have found this book invaluable. It’s full of practical activities and games for understanding number. All of the games allow me to teach maths in a way which my pupils find engaging and fun. I have found that the children I teach love handling the cuisenaire rods which allow them to understand numbers concretely and not abstractly. Everything is clearly explained and there also a companion website for downloading and printing off teaching resources.

I've used this book for years and years, it's incredibly useful. I was really glad to see a Kindle version as I travel and teach in several locations, and this would cut down on carrying books. However, the Kindle version doesn't give diagrams, images or games, which are the core of the book. The front of the book promises online resources, but there is no access code inside. You can follow a link to the online resources at Sage, but you have to contact them directly, individually, for access. I tried, but it's an American website which doesn't recognise or let me input my school, not in USA. Back to customer service again, and I was then finally given a code for access.

First of all, my 8yo 2nd grade kiddo is struggling with "memorizing" his additional tables so we started at the beginning of the book so I can access his strengths/weaknesses and reinforce any information that may be lacking. Some of the activities seem really simple but they are so good at reinforcing number facts. I LOVE that all of the activities can be considered "games" and hands-on and it has made learning/practicing number facts fun and I've gotten no complaints from the kiddo when it's time to play math games.The very first activity "Make 5" we turned into a family card game and it's so much fun. I can see playing this game on camping trips even when were past needing this activity for reinforcement. The second activity "Numbers Inside" I'm calling number bingo and we've enjoyed playing this one too.The purchase of this book includes access to online resources such as game boards, worksheets and other printables to be used with the various games/lessons. So just a heads up if purchasing a used one since the access code may have already been used.As a mom trying to help my kiddo improve his basic math understanding I find this book invaluable and I'm really happy I found this book. The activities are laid out nicely and the printables are easy to locate online and help reduce time on lesson planning.

This books is a great resource for struggling students. It has a ton of ideas/games/activities to do with your child and/or students

A great product, a tool for therapist and teachers

Lot's of great ideas, unfortunately the book is breaking away from its spine, after one time of looking through the book. I didn't bend the pages back, or do anything out of the ordinary.
