Dyscalculia has always seemed ill defined until I asked myself a simple question:

If a dyscalcic learned math using a spreadsheet which eliminated arithmetic as a factor, would they still have problems?  If the problems disappear you know the issue is computation.  If the problems remain, you have narrowed down the possibilities.

Let them guess the answer and give feedback --- estimation.  Guessing the answer and seeing how close they can get (cumulatively) is more like a game.  After a while they will get better and better and in fact will have learned the answers.  And what is better this can go beyond simple number facts and be expanded to two digit multiplication.

I am a third grade teacher and I love to teach math.  I do not like forcing my third graders to memorize their multiplication facts.  I spend a great deal of time explaining the meaning of multiplication and my students can figure out the products using many unique and interesting methods.  My district, and my state (NJ) however feel it is more important to just know the products and know them quickly.  Anyone have an answer so both me and the state can be happy and most importantly the students learn their multiplication facts!
