    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.
