Dyscalculia is a condition that affects the ability to acquire arithmetical skills, causing difficulty understanding number concepts, grasping the value of numbers, and learning number facts and procedures. It can cause problems even if the individual gets the right answer through mechanical means without true understanding. There are warning signs from an early age and difficulties experienced by students with the condition in math class.

2. What is Dyscalculia?
‘A condition that affects the
ability to acquire arithmetical
skills. Dyscalculic learners may
have difficulty understanding
simple number concepts, lack
an intuitive grasp of numbers,
and have problems learning
number facts and procedures.
Even if they produce a correct
answer or use a correct
method, they may do so
mechanically and without
confidence.’
