Welcome!
We were given this assignment in order to assemble information about dyscalculia for parents, teachers, and students in a way that is easily accessible. We hope this website aids users in learning more about this exceptionality and provides useful tips for those who come into contact with it.
As aspiring teachers of mathematics and science, we feel that we have much to gain from learning more about dyscalculia. It is important for parents to be informed about this exceptionality and gather different information from scholarly sources for how to deal with it. It is essential for students with dyscalculia to understand how to learn well in the classroom and find their mathematical strengths. Students who may not have dyscalculia should be aware of the difficulties that it may present for classmates who do. This website will give detailed information about: dyscalculia in general, the history of dyscalculia, school life for students with dyscalculia, as well as information for parents, students, and teachers, and resources for more information.

Hello. My name is...
Take a look below to meet the group members who made this project.

Matt AllredHello, everyone! My name is Matthew Hiatt Allred, and I am a junior mathematics education major at UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a strong passion for teaching, because every child should have every opportunity to learn and grow in all aspects of life. On a lighter note, I may just claim to know more about Carolina basketball (and maybe just sports in general) than anyone that I know. I love coffee; I love coffee a lot. While I do not necessarily enjoy long walks on the beach, I definitely enjoy long walks through the mountains and rock climbing. The topic of dyscalculia intrigues me, and I hope this website will help you to learn more about it be you a teacher, a parent, or a student.

Erin LiederMy name is Erin Lieder, and I am a junior in the School of Education at UNC. I was raised in the mountains of North Carolina and am the first Tar Heel of my family! In my free time, I enjoy shopping, spending time with friends, and going back home to visit my family. My primary area of concentration is math, and one day I hope to teach here in North Carolina. I have enjoyed working on this project, because I want to be well informed about dyscalculia before I begin working with my own students. I hope you enjoy our website and find what you are looking for!

Jordan RhoneyHello! My name is Jordan, and I am a junior at Carolina. I am a sweet southern belle from the tiny town of Maiden, North Carolina. I love football, Sun Drop, cats, organization, and everything about UNC. I hope to be a middle school math teacher one day, and, if that doesn't work out, I aspire to be Roy Williams’ personal assistant. I have a passion for working with people and helping make others’ days brighter. Welcome to our website!

Shan ZhangI am Shan from China, and I am currently studying education at UNC. I like to swim and play badminton and pool. I also enjoy learning languages; I have been learning Japanese for one year and just began Korean. Right now, I am learning to play guitar. Though I have been teaching for three years, I have hardly any experience in special education. Dyscalculia is totally new for me. I am very glad to be a part of this group and collaborate with those magnificent math teachers to explore the topic of dyscalculia and, hopefully, help those who struggle with this exceptionality.
