La course des nombres

A signaler, le jeu de remédiation qui s’adresse aux enfants qui souffrent de dyscalculie (la dyslexie du calcul), mais qui fonctionne bien en général pour l’apprentissage des bases du calcul :

La course des nombres s’adresse aux enfants de 4 à 8 ans, mais est aussi utile pour les enfants en maternelle et l’apprentissage du calcul en l’absence de pathologies spécifiques. Développé par Anna Wilson et Stanislas Dehaene, il se base sur les connaissances en neurosciences à propos des circuits cérébraux de la cognition mathématique.

The Number Race software is designed for remediation of dyscalculia in children aged 4-8. It may also be useful for prevention of dyscalculia, or to teach number sense in kindergarten children without specific learning disabilities. The software was developed in our laboratory by Anna Wilson and Stanislas Dehaene, and is based on our current knowledge of the brain circuits underlying numerical cognition. Details of the design of the software are published inBehavioral and Brain Functions:
