While students with disorder in math are purposely included under the definition of Learning Disabilities, rarely do math learning difficulties cause student to be referred for assessment as dyscalculia. Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability in math. Students with dyscalculia may have difficulty to understanding number-related concepts or using symbols or functions needed for achievement in math. They have difficulty with the mechanics of doing math, such as being able to recall math facts. They may realize the logic behind math, but not how or when to apply what they know to solve math problems. Types of dyscalculia: A verbal manifestation of difficulties in verbally denoting mathematical concepts; Practically Gnostic, in which the systems of counting (calculating) specific and apparent objects or their symbols are disturbed, Dyslexic, which is based on mathematical sign reading disorders, Graphic, which manifests itself as a malfunction of mathematical notation and correct representation of geometric figures, Operational, associated with inability to perform mathematical operations.Students with math anxiety are so worried about the prospect of doing mathematics that their fear and nervousness can lead to poor performance on math tests. Dyscalculia and math anxiety are different, but the signs and struggles can overlap. Some students may have both math anxiety and dyscalculia. Achievements in mathematics are determined by both math teaching and so-called student factors, including language, cognitive, metacognitive, feminine, social and emotional factors, learning habits and prior experiences.It is a common learning issue that impact students’ capacity to do mathematics. It doesn’t just affect them at school, however. The challenges can also create difficulties in daily life. It also affects the achievements of math in the country as a whole. Although there are a variety of supports and strategies that can help students grow the math skills they need, it is regrettable that the project partners do not have sufficient experience in this field and are not familiar with the strategies that determine the need for this project. Therefore, to promote math achievements in math in the project partner countries, general objectives of the project: to increase the level of achievements in math for students with dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety and strengthen the profile of the math teachers, by sharing knowledge, exchange experience and developing new educational products to contribute to the issue.Step by step planned carefully implementation of the project activities will lead to the achieve of project objectives and delivery of the planned results. In the framework of project are planned the following activities:1) Research on math learning difficulties with aim to expand teachers' knowledge on the skills required for the math learning as well as on dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety and to identify ways of overcoming math learning difficulties as well as identify also support needed for both teachers and parents;2) Collect good practices already used by the partners to increase the achievements and interest in math;3) Based on the research results and needs identified, to develop teaching strategies / methods / tools to overcome math learning difficulties and/ or to develop the skills required for the math learning;4) Prepare a Manual for Math Teachers to enhance math learning outcomes for students with dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety so supporting math teachers;5) To carry out an experimental work with students with dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety with aim to pilot the teaching strategies/ methods/ tools collected in Manual;6) Organize Multiflier Events in all project partner countries, thus raising the issue of increasing mathematics achievement by contributing to the reduction of math learning difficulties, looking for teaching strategies/ methods/ tools used in all partner countries that activate, motivate, inspire and excite students and help them to overcome math learning difficulties as well as providing space and opportunity to share knowledge, exchange experience and create new practices to help owercome math learning difficulties for students with dyscalculia and mathematics anxiety as well as support math teachers.The project value and idea of strategic partnership based on transnational cooperation and involvement different countries to get bigger impact in local, national and European level. The partners strongly believe that by creating a successful and innovative strategic partnership organization, will be more able to raise the quality of partners' activities and the profile of partners' achievements nationally and internationally.
