Find math hard? Impossible almost?

Davis dyslexia correction math program is a one on one, solution to maths difficulty. It uses unique methods to address the underlying difficulty with maths. This program is not tutoring, or anything like tutoring. The math difficulties are addressed from the ground up, laying the correct foundations, so that maths can become understandable.
 

What is Maths Dyslexia? 
 

Maths Dyslexia is more accurately called dyscalculia. What ever it is called, it is extremely frustating for the person trying to understand and do maths. There are usually missing life concepts that exist in individuals that find math very difficult.


What is the first step in correcting math issues?

The individual needs to learn to identify when they are getting confused, and then learn methods for relaxing, avoiding frustration and
re-focusing.  This is pain free and uses the person's natural talents.

What are the concepts that are neccesary to do maths?

  • change
  • Consequence
  • cause/effect
  • before and after
  • time
  • sequencing
  • order/disorder

What else is covered in the Maths program? 

The individal is guided though the basics of maths, using hands-on methods. Each exercise builds on the previous exercise, until the indiviual has certainty with all the basic requirements for maths.

Basic Maths Functions - Add/subtract/multiply/divide

Once the underlying concepts have been mastered, we move onto the various functions of mathematics. All of the basic maths functions are also covered in a real world situation and then in a maths situation “ for example: 'Add' - meaning 'join together' “ for many people that have difficulty with maths, these simple maths functions are not understood on a basic level. Once this is achieved progress can happen. It is not tutoring, although we do cover maths problems at a basic level to ensure the person can understand.

How long is the program? 

The program takes 8 days and is run one on one. It goes at the client pace, allowing the client to reach certainty.


Why does the program take so long? 

The program takes so long, because there is so much involved in becoming confident at math.  If it was easy,  there would not be the problem in the first place.

Program results? The individual reaches a level of confidence and certainty in all of the basic maths functions. This will allow the individual to undetake any type of math, since all math is a function of adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing. It may look complicated and it may be complicated, but each step of any equation, at it's most basic level,  is just using these functions.
