Podpora učencem z učnimi težavami pri matematiki: intervencije in posledice za pouk (Supporting students with mathematical learning disabilities: interventions and educational implications)

Students with mathematic learning disabilities (MLD) exhibit difficulties in a broad range of math competencies. The focus of the present contribution is to provide an overview of some current treatment approaches for MLD children and propose some educational implications. After highlighting the importance to address students’ difficulties in math early in development, we then describe some specific intervention programs and educational protocols for strengthening arithmetic skills and improving word problem-solving. Trainings intended to foster domain-general cognitive factors such as memory and executive functions are also illustrated. We conclude by reporting results of recent trainings aimed to reduce negative emotions in math learning.
