Adhd affect on maths

[SatsvsTA]

What sort of affect does adhd (medicated or unmedicated) have on ks2 sats results through to secondary maths in class.
Would you expect them generally to have the ability but
not finish in time
Or lots of errors even on simple things

Can they eventually focus harder and avoid silly mistakes?

Asking as dd is generally slower to do work. And eg on a ks2 sats paper just did add instead of subtract on fractions, doesnt always put in lowest form. Will get easier q wrong but harder correct.

Would meds even improve this?

Or do most students get q wrong that the know and make different errors each time?

Does your DD have an ADHD diagnosis? Or any other SEN?

It’s not an easy question to answer. Will they make fewer silly mistakes - quite possibly. But it may not make them good at maths if they’re not interested or don’t have natural maths ability.

Meds aren’t some kind of genius pill. It’s still the same child, just somewhat less “in one ear out the other”.

Waiting on long asd adhd waitlist since feb.
Shes good at maths just slow and careless errors. Different every time.
Did a paper yesterday and did addition instead of subtraction.
On a reasoning paper can do the algebra and ratio but will get easy things wrong.
Overall 92% but those lost marks are all errors.

difficulty in concentrating - difficulty in getting the maths out of the question

(eg for an easy example, lollipops are 50p each, Fred has £5 and wants to buy 4 lollipops, how much change will he get, will give the answer £2 as will just read 4 lollipops and do 50p x 4 rather than doing the next step)

For my DD main issue is if it has lots of steps. Like the above poster says she will end up doing step one and two but not working out that it wants the remainder rather than the total. Or missing a step due to concentration blip.

Approximately 1/3 - 1/2 of people with ADHD also have dyscalculia.
