It’s stupid, but I still feel dumb even if I have this
Comment from : Dylan Beattie

I am 66 and remember being the very bottom of the class in maths but at the top in all other subjects and completely divided between worst and best in geography depending on the math or non math content Also history dates brOne day, in 2nd year high, the teacher gave us all a "FUN!" advanced maths (don't know the type) problem at the end of the day I finished early with the depressing thought that I am obviously once again doing something wrong When time was up some still had not finished and the dux of the class had the high score of 80 I had the highest score of 100! The teacher couldn't believe it, which he kept saying over and over again Also saying " You of ALL people" " You didn't cheat! There was no one to copy fromhow did you do it?Impossible!!"brMe to self" Yeah thanks Mr Mitchell obviously I have NEVER cheated or copied before, you're not only raining on my parade, you're tearing up my reputation as well!"brThe problem was to do with using compasses and drawing arcs that crossed each other at different pointsbrJust following written instructions and moving the compass to the right pointbrIt was enjoyable and I flew through itbrI would really like to know the name of this specific type of maths problem if anyone can help

For me it was so hard and still is to make a difference between repeating numbers like: 755 and 775 getting constantly confused and having trouble to remember which one I just heard/readbrIt doesnt exactly help that I work on a daily basis with 20 digits numbers from cartons/tote labels

Ooof painful to fully understand what troubles I had as a kid I was told I had dyscalculia but never told how to manage it 😢brNow as an adult I'm trying to manage it but goddamit it's difficult to do some things

I didn't know that I was discalculic until I went to college My mom homeschooled me from birth to graduation, and I spent many hours struggling over math that I couldn't wrap my head around and I was mostly expected to learn it from the books with little or no help from my mom I was told I was lazy, stupid, the works I was given extra math as a punishment for being stuborn and not learning math brWhen I got to college, my anxiety over math was so bad that I wrote the answers on my first placement quiz backward (in mirrorform) The professor noticed right away and had me take a series of adult dyscalculia and dyslexia assements, and discovered that I was basically in the deep end of the dyscalculia spectrum The professor told me I was one of the most severely dyscalculic students he'd had, but he also reasured me that I was definitely intelligent enough to pass all my required math classes It took a lot of work, but he was right!

No one believes me when I tell them my head switches or flips numbers I am actually good at math when I see the correct numerals lol

Always struggled with maths, algebra in particular However I managed to get through my field of science degree which required a 100 pass rate in maths because it was practiced all the time To this day, I struggle with copying strings of numbers such as phone numbers or bank accounts I'm aware of this and have to check several times, but still get the sequence wrong occasionally

Ah, yes I lost out on my college degree because of a mandatory math class I was great at every other class except for the math

I have both I think dyscalculia is so unknown compared to dyslexia because, for the average person, reading is taught to be always useful and easily fun, and math is taught to be insufferable and only useful in some vague far-off future Struggling with math is far more generally relatable than struggling with reading, so dyslexia is seen as much more of a "problem" where as dyscalculia is misinterpreted as just a part of the almost universal struggle with mathbr I talk with people all the time about dyscalculia and almost every one says they're bad at math too The thing is, I'm can't really say I'm "bad" at math, surviving nearly 4 years of engineering classes proves it, but I am essentially incapable of mental math and I have to be very careful to make sure I haven't swapped around numbers (like writing a step or variable in as 21 when I thought I wrote 12) I'm an expert at double checking myself through each step, which is probably why I'm slow at it but manage to still be very decent at math despite the dyscalculia Other may struggle with memorization or operations and still relate to math being something they had to work a lot harder on When they relate to you, because they don't think of their own struggles as a learning disability, they assume your struggles are run of the mill toobr I think most kids wouldn't struggle so much if we actually showed them how useful and awesome math really is in an age appropriate way, no more endless problems about trains and impossible amounts of watermelons

I've struggled all my lifewhen it comes to words, I can read and comprehend anything But when it comes to numbers, I can barely function It also affects me in other ways; I can't play chess, type, or drive a clutch car I never heard a name attached to it

Hey I'm from south africa and went to a day hospital where we get free service for poor communities and I went so I could be diagnosed and had a student doctor tell me there is no such thing as dyscalculia brbrI asked have she heard about me and she said she has never heard about it so I don't understand how she could so quickly say it doesn't exist brbrAnd knowing that I'm not good at talking I probably explained it wrongly to her but did tell her I heard it is under researched brbrWhat do I do?
