Learning Disabilities
These series of posts is for my Masters class on Strategies for Teaching Mathematics to Elementary students. Although I am generally interested with the umbrella condition of Learning Disabilities, for this post I would be focusing more on Dyscalculia because it is the learning disability that focuses on difficulties in Math.
I. Brief Background on Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are neurological differences in processing information that severely limit a persons ability to learn in a specific skill area. Everyone has differences in learning abilities, but people with learning disabilities have severe problems that persist throughout their lives. Learning disabled people may have difficulty in school or on the job. These disabilities may also impact independent living and social relationships.
Home School
I recently read an article (name and source removed to protect the author, because I am about to slam her). Apparently this particular lady is an English teacher. She is also a mom. No problem so far. I get that. As a homeschooler, I regularly need to juggle the hats of teacher vs. mom.
As an English teacher, grammar is important to this author. Very important. So important in fact, that she struggles not to correct the little love letters her children write to her. Why? Because they are not perfectly written. She seems to miss the heart behind the note because she is overly focused on the mechanics.
Can you guess what her class was studying? Yep. Letter form and abbreviations. And while my first reaction might have been to grab my red pen, I took a deep breath and said, Perfect capitalization! Flawless spacing! All the right punctuation marks And only later, Lets talk about where punctuation marks go.
Summer School
Exams season is coming to an end. Summer vacations have begun and students have ample time during these few months to enjoy their vacation by indulging into their favorite outdoor sport, playing video games, or going for a holiday trip. Along with these activities students could still do something wherein they can hone their existing skills or develop a new one.

Former South Carolina Gov. James Edwards packs his Medical University of South Carolina office in 1999 while readying for retirement. Edwards, who helped transform MUSC as one of its presidents, died Friday at age 87. Wade Spees/Staff
The Medical University of South Carolina wasn't necessarily a sick institution when former Gov. James Edwards became its new president in 1983, but his 17-year tenure there showed the school just how healthy it could be.
Edwards, who died Friday at age 87, is being remembered for many things, but particularly for being a transformational leader of the Charleston-based medical school and teaching hospital, now considered one of the nation's best.
Those who worked closely with Edwards give him credit for challenging MUSC's employees and supporters to raise their sights, which in turn made it possible for the institution to expand and enhance its campus, attract new talent, improve patient care and achieve new national recognition.
Dr. Layton McCurdy, now dean emeritus of the MUSC College of Medicine, was among those Edwards lured to his team. Edwards had been somewhat of a reluctant candidate for governor - the Mount Pleasant dentist served from 1975 to 1979 and could not seek re-election - but his political and people skills continued to serve him well after he left office.
"Jim just had such a positive attitude," McCurdy said. "He could help people, including me and others, feel like we could accomplish anything we wanted to. That was his real talent. He could inspire people to see the bigger picture."
Lisa Montgomery, MUSC's executive vice president of finance and operations, said Edwards gift was for making others feel special.
"He was very vivacious and very positive and very upbeat," she said. "What I recall the most is Dr. Edwards frequently shared his vision for MUSC, which is for us to become a world class institution. Through his leadership and those who followed, I believe his vision has been fulfilled."
In 1997, a few years before he stepped down, MUSC was ranked among the country's best hospitals, according to U.S. News & World Report. The eighth annual rating scored 1,800 major medical centers based on mortality, reputation with board-certified specialists and medical facts, and MUSC was listed as a leader in seven of 17 specialties, up from three the previous year.

Texas A&M (7-5) vs. West Virginia (7-5) Dec. 29, 2 p.m. ET (ESPN)
BOWL SCHEDULE: Matchups, dates for every 2014-15 game
Reason to watch: To see two high-flying offenses put on a show. Texas A&M and West Virginia both boast attacks that can score in bunches, as they average 34.4 and 33.2 points per game, 30th and 36th in the nation, respectively. Those units will face off with defenses that have trouble slowing opponents (West Virginia allows 26.2 points per game; Texas A&M surrenders 27.2), meaning theres a high probability of a shootout taking place in Memphis.
Keep an eye on: West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard. The sophomore will make his second career start after leading the Mountaineers to a 37-24 win at Iowa State on Nov. 29. Howard gets the nod after Clint Tricketts abrupt retirement on Friday because of concussions, as the senior said he suffered five over the past 14 months, two of which he hid from trainers. Howard is 36-of-65 for 483 yards with five touchdowns this fall, and will throw to senior receiver Kevin White, who was named a Biletnikoff Award finalist after making 102 catches for 1,318 yards.
Did you know: Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett broke Jadeveon Clowneys SEC record for sacks by a freshman, notching 11 in 2014. He was particularly effective in a 21-16 win over Louisiana-Monroe on Nov. 1, when he recorded 3.5. Garrett could have a field day against a porous West Virginia line; the Mountaineers have allowed 28 sacks this year, tied for 77th nationally.
Final analysis: The Aggies defense has been atrocious in stints, something that led to coordinator Mark Snyders ouster on Nov. 28. However, quarterback Kyle Allen seemed to find his footing as the season wore on -- he threw for eight touchdowns in the teams final three games, including four in a 41-38 win at Auburn on Nov. 8 -- and could compensate for many of Texas A&Ms flaws on the other side of the ball. Meanwhile, Howard will have his moments for West Virginia, and tailback Rushel Shell should find plenty of room to run. Still, they wont quite be able to keep pace with coach Kevin Sumlins explosive attack, which will make the difference in the fourth quarter.
The pick: Texas A&M 35, West Virginia 31
Excerpt from:
BAKU Police in Azerbaijan have detained a dozen journalists working for U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty amid an ongoing crackdown on the outlet that Washington and rights groups decry.
The Baku offices of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty were sealed on Friday after prosecutors and armed police confiscated equipment and computers during a raid.
The U.S. State Department said it was deeply disturbed by the action, and called on Azerbaijan to respect its international commitment to protecting media freedom.
Ramping up pressure on the organizations Azerbaijan station, Radio Azadliq, police descended upon the homes of its journalists Saturday and took many in for interrogation.
Police have forcibly taken away around 12 of our journalists to undergo questioning in the prosecutors office, the stations director, Kenan Aliyev, told AFP from Radio Free Europe/Radio Libertys headquarters in Prague.
One of them has been forcibly dragged out from his home in front of his children wearing just his pyjamas, he said on Sunday.
He added the heavy crimes unit of the prosecutors office was handling the case, noting even the bureaus cleaner had been summoned for questioning.
Aliyev said the forcible seizure was unnecessary, and apparently aimed at intimidating his journalists.
Whats happening is part of the Azerbaijani authorities ongoing raid of the free press.
A lawyer for the radio station has been stripped of his right to defend the journalists, and must now submit to questioning as a witness himself, said Aliyev.

MEMPHIS, Tenn-(AP)-Texas A&M and West Virginia enter Mondays Liberty Bowl knowing plenty about each other, even though theyve never met.
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen worked as an offensive coordinator on Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlins staff at Houston from 2008-09, and they remain good friends. Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital was a quarterbacks coach for Holgorsen at West Virginia from 2011-12.
West Virginia (7-5) and Texas A&M (7-5) are both dealing with late-season quarterback changes.
Freshman Kyle Allen is making his fifth career start for the Aggies after taking over the starting spot from Kenny Hill. Skyler Howard makes his second career start for West Virginia in place of Clint Trickett, who announced Friday he was giving up football because of multiple concussions.
Both teams average more than 300 passing yards a game and score more than 30 points a game. Kickoff is 1pm on Monday in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

KIRKLAND Camariah King and her Holy Names teammates on Saturday faced Liberty, the team that kept them out of the state tournament last year.
The memory of falling short in 2013 still stung and Holy Names, ranked No. 9 in Class 3A, used that bitterness in part to fuel a 59-53 win over the Patriots at the Rebel Challenge at Juanita High School.
Hitting late free throws helped, too, as the Cougars won their sixth straight.
Holy Names makes a late push
The Cougars (6-1 overall) built an 11-point lead by being tougher on the boards, but nearly lost control in the fourth quarter because of poor execution and turnovers against an aggressive pressing Patriots defense. King supplied 25 points and helped ice the victory by sinking 4 of 6 free throws in the final 44.8 seconds. Holy Names led 54-43 when Janessa Willie hit 1 of 2 foul shots with 2:55 remaning, but Liberty clawed within four points twice. Avery Granberg got the Pats within 55-51 on two free throws with 1:01 showing and Devin Andersons putback off her own free-throw miss cut the gap to 57-53 with 34 seconds to go.
Player of the game
Willie, a 5-foot-8 senior, gave the Cougars toughness inside, and her hustle plays preserved several fourth-quarter possessions against a resilient Liberty (6-2) team.
Keys to the game
Holy Names was the aggressor in the first half, both offensively and defensively, and that led to the Cougars building leads as big as 10 points and taking a 30-23 advantage into halftime. That was the difference.
