Dyscalculia


« Back to Glossary Index

A brain-based (neurological) disability that makes it difficult to learn or understand mathematics appropriate for an individual’s age and intelligence, despite adequate instruction. An estimated six percent of elementary school students in the U.S. are affected. Difficulties vary and affect individuals differently, and can include poor understanding of math symbols and pattern recognition, directional confusion, and perception of time.
