When Trouble With Math Equals a Learning Disability
(1/2) ( 本次听写约187词 )
So far in our series on learning disabilities, we have talked about problems with reading, writing and movement. Today, we talk about a problem that affect the brain's ability to process and understand the meaning of numbers. The name for this is dyscalculia. Children with dyscalculia have trouble reading numbers and picturing them in their mind. For example, they might mistake a 3 for an 8 because the numbers look similar. They also have trouble counting objects and organizing them by sice size.
到目前为止，我们的学习能力缺失系列谈到了读、写和运动障碍。今天，我们要谈论影响大脑处理和理解数字的意思的问题。它的名字叫计算障碍。由计算障碍的孩子可能在阅读数字和在大脑中形成数字的图像上有困难。比如，他们会因为数字相似而把3看成8。他们同时对计算物体和按大小排列物体有困难。

Memory is another issue. Children with dyscalculia may not remember the correct order of operations to follow in solving math problems. Difficulties like these can lead to a life long fear of mathematics.
记忆又是一个问题。计算障碍的孩子也许不记得解决数学问题的正确步骤。这方面的障碍会导致一生都惧怕数学。

Of course, just because people have trouble with math does not necessary necessarily mean they have dyscalculia. But experts say parents and teachers may begin to suspect a problem if a child is good at speaking, reading and writing but slow to develop math skills.
当然，不能仅仅因为有人数学学习有困难而说他们有计算障碍。但是专家说家长和老师也许会怀疑有问题，如果一个小孩说、读和写都很好而数学技能获得很缓慢。

Does a child remember predict printed words, but not numbers. ?Does the child have trouble making sense of time, or understanding the order of events, like yesterday, today and tomorrow. ?
一个小孩是不是记得印刷的文字而不记得数字？这个孩子是不是掌握时间的概念有困难，或者理解事物的顺序，比如昨天、今天和明天有问题？

到目前为止，关于学习障碍我们已经谈了阅读、写作和运动方面的问题。今天我们谈的问题是影响大脑处理和理解数字含义方面的问题。这个称之为计算障碍。患有计算障碍症的孩子在读数和记住数字方面有困难。比如，他们会将3误看为8因为这两个数字相像。他们也在数数和在按大小组合物品时存在困难。

记忆力是另一个问题。患有计算障碍症的孩子可能无法记住数学运算的正确顺序来解决数学问题。类似这样的困难会让他们对数学产生终生的恐惧。

当然，仅仅因为一个人在数学上有困难并代表他患有计算障碍。但是专家称，如果孩子很擅长读写说，但是在数学技能上发展缓慢，父母和老师可以开始怀疑这个儿童是否患有该病。

是否您的孩子可以记住单词但是无法记住数字？是否孩子在理解时间的意义，以及了解像昨天、今天和明天这样的事件顺序方面存在困难？
