How Oakwood School Can Help Students with Dyscalculia
The use of manipulatives to introduce new concepts and build solid foundational skills is the cornerstone of math instruction at Oakwood. Our teachers also understand how language impacts many of our students.
Terms such as “greater than” and “less than” are quite confusing to students with language-based learning disabilities. Direct instruction in the language of math, as well as strategy development, help our students learn these terms and how to apply them in order to solve problems.
