Organise the page
Try a consistent space for each line of working and keep signs aligned. Review whether squared paper or a different layout helps you follow the method.
Separate diagram work
Identify the information and relationships before adding labels or construction lines. Practise the specific drawing skill where it is part of the assessment.
Explain before recording
Talk through a method, then decide what needs writing down. This can help distinguish understanding from the demands of producing the answer.
| Task | Possible goal |
|---|---|
| Solving an equation | Keep each transformation on a separate, readable line. |
| Using a geometry diagram | Identify known information before selecting a rule. |
| Answering a word problem | Record the quantities, required result and chosen method. |
Dyspraxia does not indicate low intelligence
The NHS describes developmental co-ordination disorder, also known as dyspraxia, as affecting physical co-ordination. It can make written tasks harder. Support should address the actual obstacle without lowering expectations automatically.
Discuss how you prefer to show your working. Paper, typed explanations or other suitable tools may be useful, depending on the task and available setup.
Not automatically. Agree what helps in lessons and check assessment arrangements with your school. Practice should also prepare you for the conditions in which you will sit exams.
Ask about both your GCSE tier and their dyspraxia experience. Reported experience is not a guarantee of specialist qualifications, so discuss the support you need before booking.
