Numbers Explorer
A dyscalculia screener designed for learners of all ages
Embedded Files
Numbers Explorer is an online dyscalculia screener designed to help identify indicators of dyscalculia and other numeracy difficulties in learners of all ages. It is intended as a screening tool, not a diagnostic assessment, and can be used in schools, tertiary education, workplaces, and by individuals.

Rather than testing school mathematics achievement alone, Numbers Explorer looks at the underlying skills commonly associated with dyscalculia, such as:
🔵 Number sense
🔵 Quantity and magnitude understanding
🔵 Pattern recognition
🔵 Numerical reasoning
🔵 Mathematical confidence
🔵 Indicators of maths anxiety

Many learners with dyscalculia remain unidentified because they develop strategies to hide their difficulties or are assumed to simply be "bad at maths." Numbers Explorer helps make these hidden challenges visible so appropriate support can be put in place.
It can help educators:
🔵 Identify learners who may need additional support.
🔵 Inform teaching strategies and reasonable adjustments.
🔵 Start conversations about maths anxiety and learning differences.
🔵 Monitor learners before further specialist assessment.
Important note: Numbers Explorer is a screening tool, not a medical or psychological diagnosis. Its purpose is to identify learners who may have characteristics consistent with dyscalculia and who could benefit from further investigation or tailored support.
Together with DysCalculator, Numbers Explorer forms part of a broader approach to supporting learners with dyscalculia - from identifying potential difficulties through to providing practical tools that reduce cognitive load and make mathematics more accessible.
