Dyscalculia is a learning difficulty that affects a child’s ability to understand numbers and mathematical concepts. It can make everyday tasks—like telling the time, handling money, or following sequences—challenging and stressful. But with the right support, children can build confidence and develop the skills they need to succeed.
At DoodleLearning, we’ve designed our apps to be inclusive and supportive for all learners, including those with dyscalculia. Here’s how we help:
1. Step-by-Step Learning That Builds Confidence
DoodleMaths breaks down topics into small, manageable steps. Your child will work through lessons in a logical order, helping them build a strong foundation without feeling overwhelmed.
✅ What this means for your child:
They won’t be rushed or overloaded
Each new topic builds on what they already know
They’ll feel more confident as they progress
2. Reinforcing Learning Through Practice
Children with dyscalculia often benefit from repeated exposure to key concepts. Doodle provides regular practice in different formats, helping your child master skills over time.
✅ What this means for your child:
They’ll see similar questions in different ways
Concepts become more familiar and easier to recall
They’ll feel more secure in their understanding
3. Multi-Sensory Support
Doodle engages your child’s senses to make learning more accessible:
Audio support: All questions can be read aloud
Visual aids: Diagrams, number lines, and counters help explain ideas
Interactive tools: Children can tap, drag, and draw to explore maths
✅ What this means for your child:
They’ll learn in ways that suit their style
Abstract ideas become easier to understand
Learning feels more fun and less stressful
4. Visual and Hands-On Tools
DoodleMaths includes virtual manipulatives like counters and number lines. These help children “see” maths and understand how numbers work together.
✅ What this means for your child:
Maths becomes more concrete and less confusing
They can experiment and learn by doing
It supports different learning styles
5. Encouraging Self-Awareness and Independence
Doodle encourages children to reflect on their learning. They can rate how confident they feel and see their progress over time, helping them take ownership of their learning journey.
✅ What this means for your child:
They’ll learn to recognise what they find tricky
They’ll feel proud of their progress
It builds resilience and a growth mindset
6. Accessibility Features for a Comfortable Experience
We’ve added features to make our apps more inclusive:
Coloured overlays to reduce visual stress
Text-to-speech for all questions
Clean, simple screens to avoid distractions
✅ What this means for your child:
They’ll feel more comfortable and focused
It supports children with multiple learning needs
Learning becomes more enjoyable
