Why do so many bright, creative individuals struggle with maths — and what can we do differently?
 
For countless children and adults, numbers don’t just feel confusing — they feel alien. Unlike dyslexia, the struggles caused by dyscalculia and poor number sense often go unnoticed or misunderstood. But what if the problem isn’t the learner, but how we teach?
 
In Counting On Fingers, dyscalculia expert and international lecturer Richard Whitehead, together with renowned innovator Ronald D. Davis, reveals how mathematically challenged individuals truly think and learn — why traditional instruction so often leaves them behind — and how that can be changed.

Drawing on over two decades of experience using the Davis Mastery for Maths approach, Whitehead offers a powerful alternative to rote learning. This book combines clarity, compassion, and practical tools to unlock lasting confidence in numeracy.
