Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
Dyscalculia is a specific mathematics learning disability which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics. After we identify the pupils with dyscalculia, it is essential to help them to master the basic numeracy skills, so they can further their study of mathematics in higher education. Reconnecting Learning is an instructional-based intervention that aims to help at-risk dyscalculic pupils to learn basic numeracy. It was developed based on two theories from mathematics education and special needs education, Tall's (2013) theory and Feuerstein's (2015) structural cognitive modifiability theory. Keywords: Dyscalculia, Child
