Grades 4-5
Dyscalculia Intervention Workbook - Grade 4-5
Multisensory activities that rebuild number sense while multi-step math and fractions arrive.
Fourth and fifth grade math asks students to hold several steps in mind at once, right when fractions arrive. For a student with dyscalculia, both demands land on the weakest foundation.
These activities rebuild the foundation and teach the new content at the same time, using the same visual models throughout so nothing has to be relearned.
What's inside
- Multi-step operations broken into visible, checkable stages
- Fractions taught with area models and number lines before any rules
- Multiplication and division built from grouping and arrays
- Estimation and reasonableness checks on every skill
- Word problems with a consistent structure for deciding what operation to use
- Confidence-building page design: fewer items, clear anchors, a success at the end
Use this level if you see
- Multi-step procedures fall apart halfway through
- Fractions feel arbitrary and cannot be pictured
- Cannot tell whether to add or multiply in a word problem
- Says things like "I'm just not a math person"
Who it's for
- Parents of an upper elementary student losing confidence in math
- Grade 4-5 teachers and interventionists
- Resource rooms and after-school programs
