GCSE Maths- Advice for Parents

EAA (Exam Access Arrangements) such as possible use of extra time; preferably start this process in Year 9 so the school can see what the normal way of working is for the child. Having a diagnosis for dyscalculia/dyslexia does not automatically entitle the child for extra time in the exam (even if it is a recommendation in the report). The testing for extra time needs to be done either by the school or by a private assessor who is in communication with the school
Mathematical fluency can be assessed for extra time in maths exams (mathematical fluency is really a measure of working memory and the ability to recall facts)
You could ask if your child could be given rest breaks, could be allowed to use a word processor, or if your child could be given supportive software e.g. Read-Write program
Your child could use the extra time to write out facts they struggle to remember liked times tables

if your child could be allowed to use a times tables square or a simple calculator during lessons. That way they are not spending time unnecessary working out simple calculations, getting further behind, and missing important information in the lesson
if your child could have handouts of the lesson at the start; that way they are not spending time copying from the board and can process what the teacher is saying
have differentiated homework, preferably not online
