Teaching Mathematics to Students with Dyscalculia and Mathematics Anxiety
Educational studies show a decline in mathematics knowledge and achievement, which can be linked to dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety.
Dyscalculia is a learning difficulty that affects the understanding and use of mathematical concepts and skills. Students may experience persistent difficulties with numbers, calculations and mathematical reasoning.
Mathematics anxiety is a feeling of tension, fear or apprehension that interferes with mathematical performance. It can affect students even when they have the necessary mathematical skills, and some students experience both dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety.
The Erasmus+ School Education strategic partnership project “Teaching Mathematics to Students with Dyscalculia and Mathematics Anxiety” aims to improve mathematics achievement for students with dyscalculia or mathematics anxiety and to strengthen mathematics teachers through knowledge exchange, experience sharing and the development of new educational products.
The project activities include research, identification of good practices, development of teaching strategies, methods and tools, preparation of a Manual for Math Teachers, experimental work and multiplier events.
The project brings together partners from Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Romania, Spain and Turkey.
Project duration: 01/09/2020 – 28/02/2023
Total grant: 170,281 EUR
