Problem . . . 
If your child has difficulty learning math concept and computation and cannot think with numbers they probably have been labeled "dyscalculia" or as having a mathematics disorder. Despite many efforts, they cannot process math concepts, "remember" math facts, or do word problems.

Cause . . .
A primary cause of math difficulties is an inability to image and verbalize the concepts underlying math processes. Individuals attempt to memorize facts instead of being able to think, reason, and problem solve with numbers.

Symptoms . . .

 Difficulty learning math facts such as multiplication tables
 Difficulty grasping mathematical relationships
 Difficulty doing word problems
 Difficulty with higher math

Solution . . .
The On Cloud NineŽ Math: A Visualizing/Verbalizing Math Program developed by Kimberly Tuley and Nanci Bell, successfully stimulates the ability to image and verbalize the concepts underlying math processes. Concept and Numeral imagery are integrated with language and applied to math computation and problem solving.  There is emphasis on both mathematical reasoning and mathematical computation.  Individuals of all ages learn to do and enjoy math.
