Abstract

The aim of this article is to increase the knowledge of Dyscalculia, difficulty that mainly affects the mathematical field, being able to explain how it affects the learning process of certain students, specifically in the Early Childhood Education stage. With the use of different questionnaires, the teachers can identify a possible case, and through the proposal described in this document the first steps of intervention with this type of students are offered. The method of investigation followed has been the study of a case, besides being carried out in a classroom with students with no difficulties. With all that, it has been possible to develop a series of activities with which a student with dyscalculia can acquire the same mathematical knowledge than a student without this difficulty.
