Mathematical difficulties

Aspects of learner characteristics in developmental perspective
The study, reported in this paper in general view, was designed to investigate the character and extent of differences between mathematically disabled children and their of mathematically normal peers (NM children) as reflected in the use of task-specific strategies for solving elementary number fact problems and word problems when children move up through primary school, i.e., from grade 1 to grade 7. Particular concern was with the variability within the group of MD children, especially in light of the general literature showing substantial heterogeneity in the performance characteristics of the mathematically less able children.
