A condition characterized by math
skills that are significantly below normal, given the person's age,
intelligence, and education. A mathematics disorder can include
problems writing or printing numbers, counting, adding and
subtracting, interpreting simple mathematical signs such as +, -, x,
and / and learning terms that include numbers.
Mathematics disorder often comes to attention in elementary
(primary) school when math comes to the fore as a key part of the
curriculum. Some experts believe about 1% of children in the U.S.
have a mathematics disorder.
The diagnosis is confirmed by special psychoeducational tests.
Treatment includes tutoring, placement in special math classrooms
with expert math teachers, and other educational aids that focus on
math skills.
Mathematics disorder can be seen as the counterpart to dyslexia or
as a special form of dyslexia.
