I had to look up the term.
Dyscalculia means you have a lifelong neurodevelopmental learning disorder. Roughly....one out of twenty have this problem.
Effect? It causes persistent difficulties in understanding numbers, quantities, and basic arithmetic.
This is the kid who you tell some word-problem....indicating 16-percent being the end-result, telling you that that this represents 30 people....and the 'game' is to figure what you really started with. The kid looks at you....thinking it's a rocket-science problem. No matter what you do....he's lost.
As you expect...mental math is impossible....and there's constant anxiety in this one single class.
The guy/gal isn't stupid or low IQ....they just have math jumbled up in their head.
