How might challenges with working memory result in challenges with higher-order math skills?
What will be an ideal response?
Reading disabilities (which are often comorbid with math disabilities) may interfere with the ability to understand math word problems. Challenges with auditory working memory, attention, and working memory may make it more difficult to hold mathematical information in mind long enough that it can be processed and an answer generated. Challenges with visual–spatial working memory can make interpreting charts and graphs challenging. Other math skills, such as geometry, and adding three-digit numbers also depend on visual–spatial skills.
