Math problems are common in dyslexia. Here are some:

- Math Fact Memory problems
- Problems with Reversals - numbers and symbols
- Problems with Place Value or Number Sequence
- Problems with Estimation
- Errors with Finger Counting
- Memory Overload with Math Computations
- Word Problem Difficulties

Dyslexic students may be strong at other types of math, however - often we see students who are quite good at mathematical reasoning, 3D spatial rotation, and geometry.

Math multiplication is much easier to learn than subtraction, and mental math strategies may also be preferred to deductive strategies that may require a lot of pencil and paper work.

Dysgraphia is often a big contributor to higher order math woes. Dyslexic students often prefer keyboarding their math when they enter Algebra, Trigonometry, and other advanced courses that require a lot of writing. A variety of programs exist, but MathType might be the most common one available in public schools or at the University level.

Word problems and math problem instructions may also present a problem for dyslexic students because of a tendency to skip words and fill-in by context. Often students need to systematically examine their errors and develop strategies for reducing word skips and word substitutions.
