Learning for Children with Special Needs of Dyscalculia

Abstract

This study aimed to develop mathematics learning tools to help children with special needs of dyscalculia in elementary school. The procedural development of the device was through a 4-D model consisting of four phases; defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. However, based on the research objectives, this development was limited only to the development stage (develop), which is to the learning device testing activities. So the development of learning tools in this study consisted of three main stages, namely: defining, designing, and development. The results of this study illustrated that learning devices for children with dyscalculia learning disorders could help children more easily deal with learning difficulties. Specifically, it is on the topic of sequencing numbers, addition, and subtraction of integers.

Analysis of Mathematical Connection Ability on Gender Differences of Junior High School Students

“…Mathematics is a science taught at school conceptually and thematically that is interconnected with other knowledge in everyday life (Muslihat et al, 2019). Learning mathematics is the formation of a way of thinking in interpreting understanding and reasoning a connection between certain values (Azhari et al, 2020;Julaeha et al, 2020). The knowledge in mathematics is universal (Tuankotta & Jana, 2021).…”

Dyscalculia: Mathematical Difficulties in the Concept of Multiplication Using Word Problems

“…Several studies related to children with dyscalculia disorders already exist with various problems that arise. Research by Azhari, Yacoeb and Irfan (Azhari et al, 2020) succeeded in compiling learning tools for children with dyscalculia cases to help them overcome learning difficulties. Another study from Chideridou-Mandari, Padeliadu, Karamatsouki, Sandravelis, and Karagiannidis (Chideridou-Mandari et al, 2016) stated that there needs to be special knowledge for mathematics teachers to understand the unique characteristics of students with dyscalculia disorders to choose the suitable learning model.…”
