Study Notes
- Research has shown increased concern about learning difficulties and disabilities, particularly in mathematics education.
- Mathematical learning difficulties or disabilities can lead to educational inequalities.
- Counting is a foundational skill in mathematics and a critical prerequisite for the development of basic addition facts.
- Dyscalculia is a core deficit in representing and processing numerosities and affects about 3-6% of the population.
- There is no standard process in place for dyscalculic pupils to receive sufficient educational support.
- Assessment of dyscalculia is necessary to design appropriate intervention strategies.
- There is a need for further research and development of remedial interventions for dyscalculic pupils in both pedagogy and mathematical content.
- At-risk dyscalculic pupils require effective and efficient instructional intervention.
- Reconnecting Learning is introduced as a potentially useful instructional intervention for at-risk dyscalculic pupils.
- This study explores how Reconnecting Learning was implemented to teach counting to an at-risk dyscalculic pupil in a remedial mathematics class.
