Supporting dyslexia in KS3 Maths
Make new content easier to navigate
Explain key vocabulary
Use a diagram or example to distinguish terms such as factor and multiple. Return to the words in real questions.
Organise the working
Keep a clear line for each step and a reference example visible where helpful. Check whether the layout makes the method easier to follow.
Explore a word problem
Identify what is known and what must be found. A sketch can help separate understanding the situation from choosing the calculation.
Build confidence through explanation
For an algebra task, a tutor might ask your child to describe a number pattern aloud, represent it with a table and then write an expression. Moving between these forms can show what is understood before introducing more notation. Give the tutor feedback on which presentation helps. Dyslexia does not determine a child’s mathematical ability, and the level of challenge should follow their understanding.
A useful sequence for a new method
First
See an example
Discuss what each step does and why it is valid.
Next
Try with support
Use a prompt only where needed and explain a decision.
Later
Return independently
Attempt a similar question after a gap to check what has stayed clear.
Frequently asked questions
Is dyslexia the same as dyscalculia?
No. They are distinct, and a dyslexic learner should not automatically be assumed to have a difficulty with number. Describe the specific task and discuss whether the tutor’s experience fits.
Can tuition prepare my child for GCSE?
It can help strengthen the KS3 ideas they currently need, including fractions, proportion and algebra. The tutor should use current work to decide what to consolidate before moving ahead.
How should we choose a tutor?
Experience on this page is self-reported. Use a free 15-minute introduction to ask about teaching examples, relevant qualifications and how they would adapt a task your child finds difficult.
The lesson ideas above are examples to discuss with your tutor, not a fixed programme for every learner. For wider educational information, see British Dyslexia Association teaching guidance.
