Games for dyscalculic children

Abstract

One of the most popular school failures is the mathematical difficulty. Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability in mathematics, neurobiological basis that is characterized by a difficulty in numerical processing and calculation. Facing dyscalculia improves the rates of school failure and adopts specific methodologies to teach reading and understand numerical processes that have beneficial effects for the rest of students. The goal of this project is to evaluate brain changes associated with the success of the intervention of dyscalculia applied to primary school children with math difficulties. The method used to evaluate this is a videogame. This videogame consist in a set of 2D games that will evaluate concepts as numerical consciousness, mental number line and system base 10. This game will help the children improve their mathematical skills and help the doctors by doing a follow up of the children results. Depending on this results the doctor may modify the parameters of the game to adapt to the children skills.
