Math seems tough, can’t wrap your head around the digits? However, struggling with numbers may no longer feel like a life sentence.

Health

Thanks to Chennai’s Madras Dyslexia Association, which has developed “Count on Me”, a colourful toolkit designed for children with learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyscalculia.

Health

Developed after three decades of working with children who learn differently, the kit is already being used in 50 Chennai schools.

Health

While the toolkit was initially created to support students with developmental dyscalculia and math learning difficulties, it has also proven to be a powerful learning resource for all students.

Health

The “Count on Me” toolkit begins with sixty-four graded, colour-coded booklets.

These are progressively structured to cover the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as concepts such as fractions and decimals.
