So excited to be spreading the word on the #rekenrek at the #ATM2021. Hope to see you there!

@MathsWarwick @annemathswatson @EmathsUK @drewfoster0 @RJS2212 @rekenrek101 @StudyMaths @mathsjem This is quickly becoming a potential thesis area for next year in my MEd...

Is dyscalculia real? If so, what are the characteristics that signify it as a learning disability? @EmathsUK @drewfoster0 @RJS2212 @rekenrek101 @StudyMaths @mathsjem #mathschat

@annemathswatson @EmathsUK @Coley44 @drewfoster0 @RJS2212 @rekenrek101 @StudyMaths @mathsjem Inability to subitize even small amounts as an adult, say 3 apples, and having to count them is interesting though.

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@JenniferRead6 But, again, the differing assessments used to screen for it are apparently looking at different things. It's no surprise that they identify different characteristics that 'could' be identified as dyscalculia. (5/5)

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@JenniferRead6 A severe difficulty in recalling number facts and inability to learn and apply counting principles stand out to me as identifiable characteristics having started to read into it. (3/x)

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@JenniferRead6 However, I understand that for dyslexia there is more of a consensus as to the characteristics of it. From personal experience, I can't think of one child with severe difficulties in maths and only maths. (2/x)

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@JenniferRead6 Ah, I see. For the (few) papers I've read, there seem to be far fewer pupils with diagnoses of dyscalculia that dyslexia. Perhaps that's an effect of there being little clarity as to a definition rather than true number of dyscalculics. (1/x)

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@berniewestacott @EmathsUK @drewfoster0 @RJS2212 @rekenrek101 @StudyMaths @mathsjem Thank you. There are clearly different angles from which studies have made conclusions (neurobiological, socio-cultural...) thanks for sharing this

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@lukejanicke @EmathsUK @drewfoster0 @RJS2212 @rekenrek101 @StudyMaths @mathsjem Another one to add to the list. Thank you! I've been looking at Gifford, Butterworth and many reference within their papers so far. Thanks for this one

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@ggerardk @EmathsUK @drewfoster0 @RJS2212 @rekenrek101 @StudyMaths @mathsjem Yes, thank you for the link. I'll add it to my reading list!

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

@JenniferRead6 Do you? I'm not sure if you've interpreted my question as a reflection of my views.

Closed schools in these London boroughs

[Mr. Coley @Coley44]

When your school is just inside a borough not on the closed list but staff and pupils will be coming in from all the surrounding closed areas...
