Many times children struggle with Maths because they have missed some of the really early key concepts.
When my Mum was a math tutor she had a grade 11 girl come to her because she was completely struggling with all of her maths and simply could not understand it at all and she really felt like she was dumb. Mum did some basic diagnosis with her and found that she was lacking some key concepts and took her back to dot pattern recognition. Within a month or two this young lady was completely understanding her Algebra and felt more confident and knew what she was doing.
Below is a small app to help children practice and learn their dot pattern recognition. At this time it is only available on desktops, stay tuned for App Store and Google Play release. This version only works in “Practice Mode” and has no sound for the full version go here.
