No. Dyscalculia stops that. I'm almost 40 and have it severely. I can't do division or multiplication without a calculator. I can do the most basic addition. I struggle to remember what numbers look like, plus the sneaky fuckers move. I couldn't even begin to tell you "basic math facts" like fractions (except what the most basic fractions are), geometry, trigonometry and anything. I would learn something, understand it, then the next day it was like I haven't ever heard it before.
Also: trouble reading clocks and sheet music
I love that I have no idea what common core is (I'm Australian) except that I know it's bullshit
Dyslexia has different forms too, I recently learned I have it as well, even though I have great reading skills.
I also have it and was in the highest math classes. Because I was so good in every other subject, clearly I was just being lazy in math. I failed math every single year in high school until I dropped out.
I have it too, and my math level is like... God knows. Grade 2 probably 😅
And I'm telling you my dyscalculia is that severe those things don't get retained. 7 years of daily multiplication table reciting and I can do: 1, 5, 10 and 11 as a kind of muscle memory chant. But ask me individually and I can't answer right away.

Dyscalculia is severely unknown in the education system. It affects a lot of things. For me, I can learn the math thing, then it's just... gone. The next lesson on the same thing was like the first time I'd ever heard of it. My numbers move, I have to relearn what the damn things look like each time I'm writing.
