Dyscalculia

Hello Everyone!

The last disorder I would like to tell you about is dyscalculia, which I think is the rarest of the disorders that start with "dys".

Dyscalculia is a disorder of the ability to perform arithmetic operations. There are as many as 6 types of dyscalculia:

·       Conceptual and cognitive dyscalculia – disorder of abstract understanding necessary to perform memory calculations.

·       Operational dyscalculia - a disorder in the performance of mathematical operations with undisturbed ability to write / read numbers.

·       Verbal (verbal) dyscalculia - disorders of the ability to name concepts and mathematical relations

·       Lexical dyscalculia (reading) - a disorder of reading mathematical symbols.

·       Graphic dyscalculia (writing) difficulties in writing numbers and mathematical symbols.

·       Executive dyscalculia - disorder of manipulating objects (real objects, e.g. sticks, abacus, or pictorial objects - illustrations for mathematical tasks, e.g. sets) for mathematical purposes. Disturbance in comparing quantity and size, ranking in ascending / descending order, indicating which object is smaller / larger / the same size.

Some of the most common symptoms of dyscalculia:

·       inability to perform basic mathematical operations

·       incorrectly rewriting numbers and mathematical symbols from tables,

·       difficulty understanding and applying concepts and terms

·       severe stress, neurotic attacks caused by the need to study mathematics

·       problems with remembering numbers, numbers and dates,

·       difficulty reading the time from the clock

·       difficulties in using public transport,

·       disturbances in spatial and temporal orientation

·       difficulties with cooking, due to the use of numerical concepts,

·       problems with keeping the calendar

Exercises to be done in case of dyscalculia:

·       mapping geometric figures,

·       Simultaneous writing with the right and left hand

·       labyrinths,

·       rebuses,

·       lazy eights,

·       searching for hidden numbers, symbols in pictures

I think I’ve just diagnosed myself with dyscalculia, I honestly don't remember if I had it on the clinic's certificate. First of all, I am a person who gets lost very easily, even in the streets I know, being in the center of knowledge, although I know the street, I cannot picture them. Secondly, I very often get lost at stops, it's an embarassment, but very often I do not know which stop I should go to and I run back and forth after the intersection. Thirdly, problems with cooking, it is an activity that I must be very careful not to confuse, how much, what, where.

Hello  everyone !   I hope that the topic of Christmas has not bored you yet, because for today I have another interesting topic related to Christmas. And exactly food.

The number 12 has many meanings, it can symbolize 12 apostles, 12 months of the year or 12 generations of Israel.    I will exchange 12 dishes for you, of course we can meet others in every home, as well as in other parts of Poland. That's why my list will be quite subjective.   mushroom soup    borscht (the soup made with beetroots) with “ uszka ”    fried carp    patties with cabbage    cabbage  with mushrooms    herring in oil   compote of dried fruits   Greek-style fish   cabbage with  white beans   red  cabbage   dumplings with cabbage and mu

Born on a blue day

Hello Everyone! Today I think that I will finally finish the topic related to various types of disorders. Today I will tell you about a fascinating book that I started reading, but I haven't finished it yet, I hope I will do it soon. The book is called "Born on a blue day: inside the extraordinary mind of an autistic savant: a memoir" was written by Daniel Tammet. It is a kind of diary that tells us about the hero's life. First I will explain who a savant is, savant syndrome is a special state of mind that makes people with low IQs have above-average mental abilities. All savants have an excellent memory that allows them to remember a lot of information. The very character of the author of the book is extremely interesting. Daniel Tammet knows 11 different languages, is the European record holder in reciting 22 514 digits of the number pi from memory, it took him over 5 hours to give all the digits. For the purposes of a documentary, he was to learn Icelandic in 7

Where and how to look for flights

Obraz
In today’s post we start to organize our journey. When the crazy idea of vacation comes into our minds, we need to think about where, how and when we want to go out into the world. That’s why today I will tell you how to search for flights on the Internet. My favorite and in my opinion the best flight search engine is Skyscanner. Here is the link for the page: https://www.skyscanner.pl . This search engine is very clear and easy to use. I sincerely recommend it. Its three biggest pros are: You can get a preview of whole month which allows you to compare flight prices on different days. You can also choose the cheapest month. You can choose a whole country as your start or destination.             After you click search, you get a list of cities sorted by price: As a destination you can choose 'Everywhere' (it’s my favorite function).             After we click search, we get a list of countries sorted by price: Besides Skyscanner there are many other flight sea
