DYSCALCULIA & MATHS DIFFICULTIES
Dyscalculia and maths difficulties assessments
When numbers don’t make sense, understanding matters. If maths remains difficult despite effort and support, an assessment can help you understand learning strengths, difficulties and useful next steps.
ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT
What does it explore?
A maths assessment looks beyond a score to explore the nature of the difficulty. It considers mathematical learning alongside relevant strengths, experiences and other learning needs.
- Understanding numbers and quantities
- Mathematical learning and problem-solving
- Relevant cognitive and learning skills
- The effect of difficulties in education and everyday tasks
The findings and next steps
A detailed report explains the findings and provides recommendations for supporting mathematical learning.
Understanding maths difficulties
When numbers are hard to understand
Dyscalculia involves persistent difficulties with numbers and quantities. Maths can also be difficult for other reasons; an assessment explores the wider picture.

Tell us about difficulties in lessons, work or daily life, including any maths anxiety. Bring a few examples and let us know what support has helped.
