The dyscalculia simulator: A developmental project targeting teachers

View through CrossRef
In this developmental project we present a first version of a dyscalculia simulator. The goal was to support mathematics teachers to better understand the difficulties students with dyscalculia experience in mathematics lessons. We therefore developed a virtual classroom where it is possible to experience some of the same difficulties as a person with dyscalculia would in a mathematics lesson. The simulator was tested on teachers and student teachers. The results show that the dyscalculia simulator has the potential to provide insights and reflections on how students with dyscalculia experience the processing of numbers and numerical information typical of school mathematics.
