One of the uses of the Blog is to make Numeracy relevant to the students. Clicking on the title above goes to BBC News.
The link in the sidebar (right hand side) goes to a dyscalculia website. Alternatively click dyscalculia.org
Another article on dyscalculia can be found here. After reading this article consider if any of the students you have met recently could have been dyscalculic. It is only recently that the condition has been recognised so there is a possibility that adult learners (and their tutors) are unaware of it.

This Blog was written for Numeracy Tutors or anyone else who is thinking of using Blogs to support students. It will show how Blogging was used in practice in Clydebank College to support Numeracy, Maths and Access to Nursing Students. I also use the site to experiment.
