The Problem with Common Core Math and Dyslexia – Showing Work

From Education News: “…the amount of work required for explanation turns a straightforward problem into a long managerial task that is concerned more with pedagogy than with content. While drawing diagrams or pictures may help some students learn how to solve problems, for others it is unnecessary and tedious.” – Barry Garelick, Education News

If the task is tedious for non-dyslexic students, it may be physically impossible for some and perhaps even a majority of age-matched dyslexic ones. The unfortunate fact today, too, is that the average classroom teacher has little or no training in dyslexia, so they won’t know how to accommodate their dyslexic students to new Common Core demands, let alone target their instruction specifically to how these students learn best.[/quote]
