Some students especially those with particular deficiencies in arithmetic
calculations are unable to correctly perform fundamental calculation
operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). They
frequently make calculation errors and give up easily. Researchers interested
in this area have found the cause of these problems in the teachers
insufficient and incorrect teaching or students inability to acquire
fundamental concepts (one to one corresponding, sets, etc.). By analyzing
the calculation errors of these students, we found that they show similar
patterns in their errors. By understanding these patterns teachers can succeed
in solving students problems and reduce their difficulties in written
comprehension to a minimum. In order to achieve this goal, 20 students who
attended the Center for Special Learning Difficulties in the city of Yassoj
were examined, and after evaluation by the experts, they were diagnosed as
discalculia students. The errors of the students in the operation subtest of the
achievement test of Iran - key math analyzed and grouped. The results
showed that one of the main difficulties of students with dyscalculia is
recognizing the facts in mathematics. Other errors are the result of a problem
in the comprehension of strategic knowledge, the time and place of using
facts or definite techniques or are well the result of chance errors.
