摘要：This study is aimed to identify the Dyscalculia learners and to test their Mathematical Skills, Mathematics is a group related science, including algebra, geometry, and calculus; concerned with the study of number, quantity, shape, space and their interrelationships by using a specialized notation. Hence, the mathematical skills are considered for the study there are Arithmetic & Numerical Skill, Algebraic Skill, Geometrical Skill, Statistical Skill, Mathematical Linguistic Skill, and Logical Skill. The skills are assessed using Mathematical Skill questioners. Dyscalculic learners are identified using Dyscalculia Test; they may have difficulty in understanding simple number concepts, lack of an intuitive grasp of numbers, and have problems of learning number facts and procedures. For the present study 300 samples of IX standard students were collected using random sampling technique, among them 150 is found to be mathematically disabled / dyscalculia learners. The demographic variables such as Gender, Medium of Instruction and Type of School are analyzed with the research variable and arrived the major findings that there exist a significant difference between the groups and also there exist a significant relationship among the mathematical skills. Boys exhibit better Arithmetic & Numerical Skill, Statistical Skill, and Logical Skill and Girls exhibit better Geometrical Skill and Mathematical Linguistic Skill. Students who are studying in private institution are good in all mathematical skills compared to others. Dyscalculia learners are positively correlated in entire dimensions of mathematical skills.
