DYSCALCULIA In this research will seek to discover the learning difficulties of mathematics in students with dyscalculia of primary education. The learning of this subject currently presents the highest rate of failure within the school disciplines. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers need to be well-acquainted with child development process. Then, through this work we express two claims: first to treat the need to encourage the existence of learning difficulties in mathematics, in this case the dyscalculia; and, on the other hand, try to know and reduce the mathematical difficulties presented by students with dyscalculia.

TEACHER END OF PROJECT During this end-of-project it has been considered important to know the concepts of exclusion and educational inclusion. Once it has been known in what consist in each concept, a classroom has been observed in order to see if there was any member excluded. Based on the qualitative methodology, the relationships and behaviors among the members of a classroom where there was exclusion have been observed. Once the observation of the situation of the classroom and some interviews have been made, a proposal improvement has been made based on some integration dynamics. By this way, the excluded student has become integrated as the rest of their classmates.

FINAL PROJECT This end-of-project aims to know the concepts of exclusion and educational inclusion. When you know in what consists of, a classroom will be observed to see if there is any member excluded. Based on the qualitative methodology, the relationships and behaviors between the members of a classroom where there is an excluded, student will be observed. Once an observation of the classroom situation and various interviews have been made, a proposal for improvement will be made based on group integration dynamics. In this way, the excluded students will be integrated with the rest of classmates.

university Once upon a time, west of Philadelphia lived a man with his wife, called Eddie and Daphne respectively, and their two children. He was a farmer and his wife had a bakery: he milked the cow and Daphne prepared all kind of sweets like muffins, cookies… One day, the woman went home and she left the gas of the bakery on. Then, the police called her at midnight telling her there had been an explosion and everything had become ashes. Therefore, the couple was thinking what to do, and they decided that the woman had to change the job. What they had thought was to become painters since it is their passion. Then, they could decorate their house.

The most useful thing I have ever learned The most useful thing I have ever learned The most useful thing I have learned is surely speaking English. There is nothing quite as satisfying as being able to communicate in another language than your own and people can understand you. I have been studying English for at least 15 years, it has not been an easy path since English education in Spanish schools is scarce. Therefore, I used to take many private English classes when I was a kid where my teacher was awesome but strict. But most of all, where I learned English truthfully was when I was living in London. Also, I usually watch movies in English with the purpose of improve my English. As everyone knows, English is studied all over the world and we have to try to learn this language in the best possible manner. All in all, I enjoy speaking it, writing it and understand it, but not always since every day I don’t have the same desire to keep learning as I should. Occasionally, it is hard to have your find your own source of motivation.

KAHOOT  Skills emphasised By offering interactive learning experiences, students can strengthen and practice, in this case multiplications, and they don’t realize that they are learning. Students can play in groups or in pairs, where they can develop cooperative work, or, of course, they can play individually. Also, they learn to lose and win, as they earn coins and who has more coins wins.  Layout description First of all, as they are learning the multiplications in math class, we will review it in our English class, we could do some typical exercises or we could do a worksheet and then we will start playing Kahoot after reminding the content, so we are playing and learning. Since they can play in pairs, groups or individually, they can play in all three ways which is very important for them.  When would you use it? How? Are the resources ready to use in class? As teachers, we have to talk with the mathematics teacher and we have to explain and begin with the exercises simultaneously in both classes, maths and English. Then, we will need laptops or another electronic device such as computers or tablets. We can use an activity that is already done or we can create a new one if we want, always according to the level of our students. Then when we have chosen the activity we can start playing always explaining how to play before.  Why have you chosen such teaching material? We have chosen Kahoot because sometimes the traditional class seems to be very boring for our students, then we can convert this class in something funny and interesting for them where competition and game are firstly. The goal is to play but the most important thing is to learn.

ENGLISH How and why I started learning English? Well, in Spanish schools we start learning English, our foreign language, aged 4-5 and we know less than we should. The method that they are using is the same as the method they were using many years ago, government must change it. We learn through books and photocopies, of course we have to learn grammar, vocabulary…but if we don’t know how to talk properly, we won’t have any kind of conversation. As example, I knew, more or less, English grammar, vocabulary… and when I arrived, as au pair, to my host family in London I couldn’t say a single word. Nowadays, one of the most important skills is to know as many languages as possible. If we had learned better English, we could be learning other languages then according to a ranking of countries that speak English better, we are the number 23.

future To begin with, in Spain we finish our high school with just 18 years old. Do I think it is sufficient age to know what we want for our future? Of course, no, I don’t. In my opinion, they let us decide our future without enough knowledge of life in general. On the one hand, in high school we have a lot of subjects as: maths, history, physical education…and many more besides. But, we should have a subject which guide us to pick the best way, because our choices can change our fate. On the other hand, not all the people have to do the same, I mean if you haven’t studied, you aren’t worse person that if you had studied. This reason must be taught. To sum up, our parents usually recommend the best for us, then we have to listen more to them, as they have more life experience. Whatever you do, make sure you will find it helpful in the future.

Skills When young children are in language classroom, maybe we think they don’t understand anything, but we are wrong. They have a very useful ability allowing them to guess the meaning of what we want to say without understanding all the words separately. How? Teachers have intonation, gesture, facial expressions…and this is how they start to understand the language. This happens even if you have learned a language for many years, I am saying this out of my experience. The most important part of learning a language is to talk. Does not matter if you do not know some words or how to say a sentence correctly. We have to try and if we fail, do not worry, we are learning of our mistakes. Mistakes are very important while we are learning, and we have to teach this to our students. But, seriously, students of a new language that may have been learnt a lot of grammar, vocabulary…if you do not put it into practice it is useless. I knew more or less English grammar, vocabulary… and when I arrive to my host family in London, as I have been an au pair, I couldn’t say a single word. There are two different types of learning: direct and indirect. Direct learning can be a traditional class of history, which sounds really boring. For indirect learning, guessing is actually a very powerful way of learning phrases and structures. Why? Because the mind is engaged with the task and is not focusing on the language. As I explained in exercise 3, games have an important role within education. Children do not need too much to have fun and play. But games are not the only way in which individual personalities surface in the language classroom. There are, also, the role of imagination. This role promotes creativity and imagination, obliges us to call the shots, responsibility, teamwork… I really liked to learn by the imaginative rol. For example, if students need to practice their conversational skills, in pairs, they can imagine that one of them wants to buy a toy and the other is the seller. Then they have to speak all in English and they will improve a lot.
