Numeracy

 

Children with Down syndrome will vary widely in their achievement of numeracy skills, and the small amount of research in this area suggests that their numeracy achievements are at a lower level than their literacy achievements.  However, when a student is motivated, taught well and participates in errorless learning it is possible  for that child to achieve at an age-appropriate level.
