Dr. Shaddai Tembo is joined by Rob Jennings, co-founder of Dyscalculia Network, to discuss dyscalculia and the links to oracy. Rob defines dyscalculia and highlights the awareness levels around it, as well as how the learning disorder is identified in early years settings.
Rob explains the long-term implications that can arise from children not being diagnosed or supported with dyscalculia, and how this can impact them through adulthood too.
Practitioners may be interested to learn more about the importance of oracy in mathematics education, as well language challenges within the subject. Rob and Shaddai also touch on the role of digital technology in learning too and the screen time that pupils experience.
