Why does not my son understand mathematics?
Why does not my son understand mathematics?
RUBIO's pedagogical experts list and explain what the main problems of the little ones are when dealing with this subject.
The acalculia, the dyscalculia and the difficulties related to cognitive development, the structuring of the mathematical experience and the resolution of problems, are the learning disorders most common in elementary school children.
The difficulty of understanding mathematics in children It is associated with several factors, such as the lack of understanding of the statements, the lack of cognitive maturation or deficiencies in previous learning.
How many times has the scene of a frustrated child been repeated in front of a math book? This situation, unfortunately so common, has a scientific explanation that experts associate multiple factors and can derive from the lack of understanding of the statements or the cognitive maturation of the child, to deficiencies in previous learning that hinders the child's progress in the subject.
According to RUBIO educational experts, the editor of didactic notebooks, the learning of mathematics requires the creation of abstract meanings, the codification and decoding of symbols and the ability to make relationships as possible.
In order to develop these exercises successfully, the little ones must have the opportune neurobiological maturation that allows them to understand this subject.
So, the team of professionals from the firm explains what they are the most common difficulties among primary school children and what these problems are due to in the formation of the children.
Acalculia
It is the impaired skills and mathematical processing due to a brain injury.
In this case, it is a disorder due to damage to the brain tissue and not a learning difficulty.
Dyscalculia
It is a difficulty of learning of persistent character that manifests itself with problems to understand and perform mathematical calculations.
It is not associated with any physical disorder, but occurs in children with a normal capacity.
In fact, there are up to six types of dyscalculia that depend on the obstacles find the small one.
- Difficulties related to cognitive development processes.
In order to understand certain mathematical concepts, it is necessary for children to reach the relevant cognitive maturation.
In this regard, it should be noted that each child follows his own rhythm so we must let them mature enough and do not press them with contents too advanced for them.
- Difficulties related to the structuring of the mathematical experience.
In other words, they are the difficulties derived from a poor understanding of concepts previously seen in this same matter.
Mathematics is sequential and progressive, so you have to make sure that all concepts are fully understood before moving on to more complex ones.
- Difficulties in the resolution of problems.
Are those related to the interpretation and resolution of problems, and it occurs in those boys and girls who fail in the understanding, representation and selection of operations, but not in the execution, that is, once they know what they have to do, they know how to develop the required operations.
But how can we help our children?
Once identified what are the difficulties of our children, experts recommend adapting the contents to the needs of each student and respect their times and pace of learning.
Preferably by the hand of a reinforcement teacher in the classroom.
Other of his recommendations are iIncorporate the use of the abacus, practice mental calculation or do seriation exercises or numerical strings, tools that can be found in RUBIO products.
