In more concrete terms, this results in <strong>difficulties counting, enumerating<\/strong>, <strong>doing mental arithmetic<\/strong>, <strong>solving problems<\/strong>, <strong>setting out a written calculation<\/strong>, and so on. Fortunately, fun games specifically designed for this group can support children with DYS disorders and help them overcome these difficulties &#8211; such as <strong>L&#8217;Attrape-Nombres<\/strong> (&#8220;Number Catcher&#8221;).<\/p>\n<h2>A game devised by the INSERM-CEA Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit (UNICOG)<\/strong> brings together professionals from INSERM Universit\u00e9 Paris Sud and the CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission). <em>&#8220;<strong>Its mission is to study the brain basis of cognitive functions<\/strong>, in healthy individuals and in patients with neurological disease, by developing and using neuroimaging methods alongside experimental paradigms drawn from cognitive psychology.&#8221;<\/em><a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Among its research themes are numerical calculation and the developing brain of babies and children. In this spirit, <strong>UNICOG developed the game L&#8217;Attrape-Nombres to strengthen the brain circuits involved in representing and manipulating numbers<\/strong>. A game specifically designed for children with dyscalculia, whether in nursery or primary school.<\/p>\n<h2>L&#8217;Attrape-Nombres, for dyscalculia<\/h2>\n<p>Aimed in particular at <strong>children aged 4 to 10<\/strong>, L&#8217;Attrape-Nombres pursues <strong>several goals<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gradually learning addition and subtraction<\/li>\n<li>Strengthening brain representations of number<\/li>\n<li>Better automatic processing of numbers<\/li>\n<li>Understanding two-digit numbers<\/li>\n<li>Helping children with dyscalculia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Through sustained practice<\/strong>, the game aims to <strong>stimulate the area of the brain that isn&#8217;t working well<\/strong>. Neuroscience research has already shown that maths games can improve number sense in children with dyscalculia.<\/p>\n<h2>A fun online game for nursery and primary school children<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Available free online<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.attrape-nombres.com\/an\/home.php\">L&#8217;Attrape-Nombres<\/a> works <strong>a bit like <em>Tetris<\/em><\/strong>, with crates of fruit, flowers and fish falling down the screen, which need to be loaded onto trucks, carts and boats.<\/p>\n<p>The child with dyscalculia <strong>clicks on the crate and drags it onto the vehicle<\/strong>. Goods are loaded in batches of 10. If a vehicle can hold more, 10 must first be loaded onto the first row before filling the second&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>As the game progresses through its levels, the possibilities multiply<\/strong>: a saw can cut crates in half to fit them into the vehicle&#8217;s free spaces, a bonus appears when the child lines up objects of the same colour in a row, drivers in a hurry require the loading to be finished before a bell rings, after which they&#8217;ll leave&#8230; and so on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Very popular with nursery and primary school pupils<\/strong>, the best approach is perhaps to <strong>have your child try it<\/strong> and observe their reaction (and their progress).
