Challenges in teaching mathematics: Perspectives from students’ learning difficulties. Reflections on 'Challenges in Mathematical Cognition' by Alcock et al. (2016)

Author(s) / Creator(s)

Chinn, Steve

Abstract / Description

Alcock et al (2016, this issue) have set out and discussed a potential research agenda for mathematical cognition. It is timely that research topics, along with knowledge uncovered to date, should be incorporated into a coordinated agenda for further research. This commentary focuses on the perspectives that learning difficulties, and dyscalculia, reveal. These perspectives potentially add much to that research agenda. [Commentary on: Alcock, L., Ansari, D., Batchelor, S., Bisson, M.-J., De Smedt, B., Gilmore, C., . . . Weber, K. (2016). Challenges in mathematical cognition: A collaboratively-derived research agenda. Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2, 20-41. doi:10.5964/jnc.v2i1.10]
