Memory difficulties

How can I support students experiencing memory difficulties?

Students experience difficulty remembering key facts, concepts, strategies and procedures.

To support students experiencing memory difficulties in Mathematics, teachers should:

  • thoroughly develop the students’ knowledge of facts, concepts, strategies and procedures using practice, review, discussion and application experiences
  • provide visual scaffolds
  • provide permanent models (eg a hundreds chart)
  • develop a planned system of review.
