Activity for teaching mathematics for students with learning disabilities with analogy method : division with and without a remainder topic

Abstract

One of the subjects that students with mathematics learning difficulties have difficulty with is division with and without remainders. In teaching this subject, concretization, use of analogy and gamification can be effective in understanding. Concretization, semi-concrete, abstract teaching strategy is applied. In this article, an activity for teaching division in students with mathematics learning difficulties is presented.

Keywords

• division
• dyscalculia
• analogy
• teaching practices in math education
