There are often early signs of dyscalculia even in preschool and kindergarten. Let’s go through those first. Here they are:
- A difficulty remembering the names of numbers?
- Trouble learning to count
- Trouble learning to count by two’s or threes
- Can count, but when counting objects makes mistakes
- Difficulty recognizing numbers. They may see 2’s as z’s
- May not understand that numbers stand for quantities
- May not understand the concept of more or less
- Difficulty with patterns such as smallest to largest or shortest to tallest
- May Avoid games that use numbers or dice
- May not understand that the symbol for a number and it’s written version are the same thing. In other words, the number 2 and the word two
- Just doesn’t seem to have number sense
