Description

For many children, mathematics is an inherently difficult subject to learn. Between 5 and 8 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 14 have a particular type of cognitive deficiency that limits their aptitude to acquire knowledge and understanding of fundamental ideas in numeracy (Geary, 2004). Increasingly, researchers in the cognitive sciences are studying this deficiency under the name dyscalculia, a disorder in which normally intelligent children demonstrate specific disabilities in learning mathematics (Ansari & Karmiloff-Smith, 2002). Teachers need to be informed about dyscalculia so that they can implement strategies that intentionally and explicitly accommodate students who have this disorder. The objectives of this paper, therefore, are to define dyscalculia, to consider the origins of dyscalculia in psychological, biological, and pedagogical contexts, to describe the criteria required to diagnose students with dyscalculia, and to delineate practical methods and instructional designs that can be implemented in the classroom to address the specific learning needs of dyscalculic learners. What is dyscalculia?
