This is for Leicestershire LA schools and academies only

It is appropriate for all key stages:

A definition of Dyscalculia and Maths Learning difficulties was agreed in 2019. Many schools are looking to expand their awareness in this area to enable them to best understand and support learners who are struggling to make progress with Maths.

This course will be invaluable in ensuring you have an overall understanding and awareness of maths learning difficulties and dyscalculia. It will provide an introduction to dyscalculia and then look at ways to support and monitor maths learning difficulties.

It includes:

• What are maths learning difficulties and dyscalculia
• Inclusive classrooms and principles for effective teaching
• Key Problems and Solutions - a year five case study
• Maths anxiety
• Resources to support monitoring and evidencing a graduated response
• Signpost to standardised tests for maths and maths intervention programmes

We look forward to working with you.
