Some of our year 7 and year 8 students have started using IDL Numeracy as an intervention platform during their maths lessons. IDL Numeracy is a maths software resource that helps improve attainment in mathematics. A lot of the students are familiar with the platform as they already access IDL Literacy. The lessons on IDL Numeracy ensure inclusivity by reducing the stress those with dyscalculia would ordinarily feel when faced with mathematical problems. There are a variety of different lessons on the platform, all engaging and effective. Each question is solved by moving items around the screen or clicking on the right items. The students have enjoyed working independently at their own pace on the IDL Numeracy.
