[quote=Anonymous]My kid with dyscalculia had accommodations that allowed him to show understanding of the concepts without being penalized for not being able to remember math facts and formulas. So in 4th and 5th grade he was allowed a multiplication table. In 6th a basic calculator as long as the assignment was not about testing those basic skills. Later in math and science he got to take a formula sheet into testing with him - again, as long as the point of the assignment wasn’t to show you had memory he formula, but instead that you knew how to use it. It actually made some teachers rethink their tests so they better tested understanding of concepts rather than rote memorization, and then they gave the whole class access to the aid (calculator, formula sheet, etc) which I thought was great.[/quote]
