Dyscalculia Screener Digital is an<br />
innovative online assessment that<br />
identifies dyscalculic tendencies<br />
and recommends intervention<br />
strategies. Dyscalculia Screener<br />
Downloadable Version is also<br />
available, and is downloadable -<br />
so no internet connection is<br />
required when actually sitting the<br />
test. Fully standardised, these 30<br />
minute tests are ideal for<br />
screening an entire year group or<br />
just those pupils showing some<br />
signs of difficulty. It can play an<br />
important part in helping teachers<br />
distinguish between those<br />
individuals who have poor maths<br />
attainment and those whose<br />
difficulties are associated with<br />
dyscalculia.<br />
The screener provides a true measure of a pupil’s facility with numbers<br />
through evaluating their ability to understand number size, simple<br />
addition and simple multiplication. It also ensures that individuals enter<br />
the test at an appropriate level and are taken out of the test if the<br />
questions become to difficult.<br />
In addition to instant scores, Dyscalculia Screener Digital offers a range<br />
of instant reports, including a useful individual report that is specifically<br />
designed for communication with parents.<br />
