Symptoms Of Dyscalculia

Confuses Math Symbols

Even when someone with dyscalculia has tools such as calculators or pen and paper at their disposal, they still may have difficulty completing math problems because they confuse math symbols (for example: +, –, ×, ÷). They may particularly struggle when an equation or problem uses more than one symbol in a sequence (e.g., 4 + 5 × 10). In some cases, individuals with dyscalculia have difficulty understanding the connection between the operation and the symbol, for example, that '+' stands for add, while in other instances, they have a hard time remembering which operation goes with which symbol.
