Abstract

Learning Disorder affects the way in which children with average or above-average intelligence receive, process, or express information and maintain it throughout life. This impairs the learning of basic skills in reading, writing, or mathematics. The present work is the result of a bibliographic research, which aims to analyze how dyscalculia interferes in the learning process in mathematics in children in the school phase and to identify effective pedagogical practices that promote a more inclusive and efficient teaching-learning for these students. Through the research it was observed that one of the great learning difficulties of students is in the discipline of mathematics, in which, this area of learning for many is considered as a torment and can contribute to school failure, it was possible to identify the main difficulties and manifestations faced by children diagnosed with dyscalculia in the school phase. Studies show that the specific disorder of Mathematics (Dyscalculia) affects between 3 and 6% of the world's population. This work revealed the importance of the family knowing the problems faced by their children, the need to prepare teachers and education professionals to deal with the problem.
