Students with dyslexia may exhibit superior skills in other areas such as problem solving, (fixing things, science experiments, elecronic circuitry), creativity, for instance in art or drama, spatial awareness, or be exceptional in areas involving coordination such as sports. On the other hand, they may exhibit difficulties within particular strands of a curriculum area, particularly when it uses written symbols which represent abstract concepts,(algebra and chemistry are examples), or symbols that do not have a direct connection with the idea or concept being represented,.Chemical symbols Fe (iron) and Na for sodium are examples. Algorithms, one type of mathematical problem solving, may present those students who find sequencing difficult, with more of a challenge thanother students. They would also find timetables problematic.
