Signs & Symptoms of
Dyscalculia
Recognising these signs early can make a significant difference. If your child shows several of these, seek a professional evaluation promptly.
Weak number sense
Difficulty understanding quantities, estimating amounts, comparing numbers, or grasping the concept that numerals represent quantities.
Trouble memorising arithmetic facts
Unable to reliably recall basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts despite repeated exposure and practice.
Counting on fingers beyond expected age
Continuing to rely on finger-counting for simple calculations well past the age when peers have automatised these facts.
Difficulty with place value
Struggling to understand the value of digits in different positions, making errors in multi-digit calculations and number reading.
Problems with time and sequencing
Difficulty reading clocks, understanding the passage of time, following multi-step instructions, and organising tasks in sequence.
Maths anxiety
Significant anxiety, avoidance, or distress associated with maths tasks, which can compound the learning difficulty over time.
