Grades 9-12
Dyscalculia Intervention Workbook - Grades 9-12
Algebra, percents, and functional math for high school students with number sense difficulties.
High school students with dyscalculia are often capable readers, writers, and thinkers who have spent a decade believing math proves something about their intelligence. It does not.
The activities here rebuild the number sense that algebra assumes, while keeping the content and tone appropriate for older students.
What's inside
- Algebraic thinking introduced through patterns and visual structure
- Percents, proportions, and rates applied to real situations
- Functional math: money, budgets, time, measurement, and data
- Strategies for using calculators without skipping the reasoning
- Test-taking and accommodation guidance
- Short, focused sessions designed for students with limited math stamina
Use this level if you see
- Strong in reading and writing but blocked by any numeric task

- Avoids courses, jobs, or tasks involving numbers
- Long history of believing the problem is intelligence
Who it's for

- Parents supporting a teen through required math courses
- Transition and life-skills programs
