– KNOWING, OBSERVING AND EVALUATING: a clear and thorough definition is given on dyscalculia and difficulties in mathematics, and tools for their observation and classification are provided.
– PROGRAMMING AND TAKING ACTION: concrete strategies and interventions are given for effectively tackling particular didactic and educational needs.
