Assistive Technology is very excited to have found the team of three from New Plymouth, who have been creating resources to support students with dyscalculia and maths anxiety.Gary Sharpe Math Guru, Developer and Dyscalculia Researcher Hannah Hughson Dyscalculic Keitha Sharpe Student Support and Admin“Hannah is a real inspiration”Gary and Keitha Hannah struggled with Maths – full stop. Gary worked with Hannah to find out what she needed and researched the difficulties and found solutions. The tools that were created to support Hannah led on to lots of people being helped. She works with numbers now and knowing she is not good at it, makes her super particular and very precise.We are constantly being asked for tools to support dyscalculia and finally we have a comprehensive bundle with so many resources to assist.The Bundle A series of 38 A4 Laminated Cards Each card has a QR code linked to a video explaining how the resource works. Some of the cards are designed to be cut up. Featured Items Clothesline – Fractions, Decimals and Percentages 5 Pages A series of cards labelled with matching fractions, decimals and percentages for users to arrange in sequenced steps on a line, giving clues to patterns and conversions. Areas of Triangles 1 Page Calculating areas of different shaped triangles Number Line 1 Page Basefold out number line of integers only (-30 to 120), a key tool for dyscalculics. Place Value Slider 1 Page Resource to assist with place value, conversions between decimals and percentages. Working with Fractions 1 Page A colour coded resource to assist with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Triangles 12 Pages Three sets of 24 triangular cards with matching sums and solutions. DM Clock 1 Page An interactive analogue clock to support reading time, recording time and converting between analogue and digital time. Calculating Ratios 2 Pages Examples of calculations of Part to Part and Part to whole ratios Working with Circles 2 Pages Terms, calculating circumference, area and volume, and converting between these Multiply & Divide Positive and Negative Numbers 2 Pages “How to” for working with positive and negative numbers Working with Non-Right-Angle Triangles 1 Page Calculations using sin and cosine rules, calculating missing measurements of triangles Working with Right Angle Triangles 1 Page Calculating lengths of sides and angles using trigonometry Working with Squares and Rectangles 1 Page Calculating perimeters, areas and volumes Working with Statistics 1 Page Terms, calculating key information from statistical data, terms relating to commonly used graphs Working with Right Angle Triangles 1 Page Calculating lengths of sides and angles using trigonometryAll ItemsAreas of Triangles Calculating areas of different shaped triangles Calculating Ratios Examples of calculations of Part to Part and Part to whole ratios Working with Circles Terms, calculating circumference, area and volume, and converting between these DM Clock An interactive analogue clock to support reading time, recording time and converting between analogue and digital time Fractions Decimals and Percentages A series of cards labelled with matching fractions, decimals and percentages for users to arrange in sequenced steps on a line, giving clues to patterns and conversions Multiplying and Dividing Positive and Negative Numbers “How to” for working with positive and negative numbers Working with Fractions A colour coded resource to assist with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division Working with Non-Right-Angle Triangles Calculations using sin and cosine rules, calculating missing measurements of triangles Number Line Basefold out number line of integers only (-30 to 120), a key tool for dyscalculics Place Value Slider Resource to assist with place value, conversions between decimals and percentages Working with Ratios Part to Part and Part to Whole ratios and how to calculate amounts of products to be mixed Working with Right Angle Triangles Calculating lengths of sides and angles using trigonometry Working with Squares and Rectangles Calculating perimeters, areas and volumes Working with Statistics Terms, calculating key information from statistical data, terms relating to commonly used graphs Working with Triangles Triangle facts, perimeters, areas and volumes Triangle Puzzle Calculations and solutions that fit together, used as a memory check for commonly used terms and solutions Triangle Puzzle Formulae Various formulae that are considered common in calculations Triangle Puzzle Open Learner or tutor resource to be used as memory check for topics that are proving a challenge Mini Cards A number of credit card sized memory jogs and how to’s fit in a pencil case or what ever for the dyscalculic or high maths anxiety learner Optional books Number Friends and the Doubling Doorway Number Friends and the Number Bond Sports Day Number Friends: Let’s Write Numbers
