Our Approach - Neurithmetic Limited

Our Teaching Methodology

At Neurithmetic Limited, we've developed a comprehensive approach to mathematics education that specifically addresses the needs and strengths of neurodiverse learners. Our methodology is built on extensive research, practical experience, and ongoing feedback from students, parents, and educators.

We understand that neurodiverse students often process information differently, and traditional teaching methods may not effectively engage their unique cognitive styles. Our approach leverages these differences as strengths rather than barriers, creating learning pathways that work with, rather than against, natural thinking patterns.

By combining evidence-based teaching strategies with engaging online video resources, we create a learning environment where neurodiverse students can develop genuine understanding, build confidence, and achieve success in mathematics.

Key Principles of Our Approach

The foundational elements that guide our teaching methodology

Strengths-Based Learning

We identify and build upon each student's unique cognitive strengths, creating learning experiences that leverage their natural abilities rather than focusing on perceived deficits.

Multiple Representation Methods

We present mathematical concepts using visual, verbal, and interactive approaches, allowing students to engage with content in ways that align with their preferred learning styles.

Structured Progression

Our content follows clear, logical sequences with explicit connections between concepts, helping students build coherent mental models of mathematical ideas.

Regular Recaps and Reinforcement

We incorporate frequent reviews of previously learned material, strengthening neural pathways and supporting long-term retention of key concepts.

Self-Advocacy Development

We help students understand their own learning styles and needs, empowering them to advocate for themselves and apply effective strategies independently.

Alternative Assessment Approaches

We provide diverse ways for students to demonstrate their understanding, moving beyond traditional testing methods that may not accurately reflect their knowledge.

Research-Backed Methods

Our approach is grounded in evidence and ongoing research

The Science Behind Our Approach

Our teaching methodologies are informed by extensive research in cognitive science, educational psychology, and neurodiversity studies. We continuously monitor emerging research and integrate evidence-based practices into our content.

Key research areas that inform our approach include:

Cognitive load theory and its applications for neurodiverse learners
Multiple representation methods and their impact on mathematical understanding
Executive functioning support strategies in mathematics education
Strengths-based approaches to neurodiversity in educational settings
Effective online learning design for students with diverse learning needs

Benefits for Students

How our approach transforms the learning experience

Increased Confidence

Students develop genuine belief in their mathematical abilities, often for the first time in their educational journey.

Deeper Understanding

Rather than memorizing procedures, students develop conceptual understanding that supports long-term learning and application.

Improved Academic Performance

Students achieve better results in classroom assessments and standardized tests, including GCSEs.

Reduced Math Anxiety

Students experience less stress and anxiety around mathematics, creating a more positive relationship with the subject.

Greater Independence

Students develop self-regulation strategies and learning skills that support independent study and problem-solving.

Expanded Opportunities

Success in mathematics opens doors to a wider range of academic and career pathways previously considered inaccessible.

Success Stories

Real examples of our approach in action

From Struggling to Succeeding: Alex's Story

Year 9 Student with ADHD and Dyslexia

Alex had always struggled with mathematics, finding it difficult to focus during traditional lessons and becoming frustrated with text-heavy resources. After discovering our video-based approach, Alex began to engage with mathematical concepts in new ways.

The visual explanations, step-by-step processes, and ability to pause and replay content allowed Alex to process information at a comfortable pace. Within three months, Alex's classroom performance improved dramatically, and for the first time, mathematics became an enjoyable subject rather than a source of anxiety.

Building Confidence: Sarah's Journey

Year 11 Student with Dyscalculia

Sarah had been diagnosed with dyscalculia and had developed severe mathematics anxiety by Year 11. With GCSEs approaching, her parents were concerned about her prospects for achieving a passing grade.

Our approach, with its emphasis on multiple representation methods and strengths-based learning, helped Sarah discover that she could understand mathematical concepts when they were presented visually and connected to real-world applications. By focusing on building conceptual understanding rather than memorization, Sarah not only passed her GCSE mathematics but achieved a grade 5, exceeding everyone's expectations.
