3. Mathematical Inclusion and Neurodiversity
How can Neurodivergent children be included in mathematical learning?
Summary
Researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Surrey, and University College London are aiming to find out what thinking skills and educational supports help children with Down Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome and Williams Syndrome in relation to mathematics.
WhAT ARE OUR AIMS?
The aims of this project are to better understand:
1) the thinking skills that contribute to strong numeracy for children with these genetic syndromes across primary school, and
2) the school environments that best support their numeracy.
Who are we?
