Overcoming Dyscalculia and Difficulties with Number (Corwin Ltd)

The media could not be loaded.

First of all, my 8yo 2nd grade kiddo is struggling with "memorizing" his additional tables so we started at the beginning of the book "The Dyscalculia Toolkit" (geared for 6-14), so I can access his strengths/weaknesses and reinforce any information that may be lacking. Some of the activities seem really simple but they are so good at reinforcing number facts. I LOVE that all of the activities can be considered "games" and hands-on and it has made learning/practicing number facts fun and I've gotten no complaints from the kiddo when it's time to play math games. So if you have a younger kiddo and need to cover simple addition (like 4+3=7) and subtraction (11-3=8) start with "The Dyscalculia Toolkit."I also purchased the book "Overcoming Dyscalculia & Difficulties with Number" at the same time since it's geared towards kids aged 9-16. This book covers some of the same lessons/issues as found in the other book but it has different games and activities that you can download. It also covers multiplication and division of larger numbers and some beginning algebra so if you're kiddo is beyond basic addition and subtraction and can subitise this may be the book for you.

This is a little too confusing and hard to follow. I was looking for a more open and go math curriculum.
