Hypothesis of Developmental Dyscalculia and Down Syndrome: Implications for Mathematics Education
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Faragher, Rhonda – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
In this paper, the hypothesis that Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a characteristic of Down syndrome (DS) is proposed. Implications for the hypothesis are addressed: If it were to be confirmed that DS implies DD, what would be the consequences for the mathematics education of learners with DS? The use of prosthetic devices to overcome the…
