المستخلص Introduction: Learning disabilities in the primary stage is an important area that should be considered because of its negative effects on pupils and teachers. Pupils with learning disabilities have a clear disability in learning the basic skills such as reading, writing and Mathematics. They also have medium percentages of intelligence and suffer from a low level of achievement. Learning disabilities in Mathematics should be discovered and solved early. One of these disabilities pertain to verbal problem-solving skills which are considered one of the basic aims of learning Mathematics in the primary stage. Pupils with learning disabilities in Mathematics in the primary stage may use inappropriate strategies for solving verbal mathematic problems. So, the present study is an attempt for training those pupils on using the model drawing strategy in solving the mathematic verbal problems in the primary stage. This strategy helps the pupils with learning disabilities to understand the problem and determine the appropriate mathematic processes for solving it. Learning disabilities not only decrease the achievement level of pupils but also increase their anxiety level in learning Mathematics. Numerous studies have revealed a strong reverse relationship between the mathematic achievement and its anxiety that the pupil suffers from all over his/her life; in the sense that he/she feels anxiety when meeting a life situation that requires dealing with mathematic numbers and symbols. Consequently, the present study helps the pupils with learning disabilities overcome this mathematic anxiety through using the model drawing strategy, in the sense that they could practise a group of mathematic activities which explain the importance of Mathematics in life and help them play a positive role in learning. Problem of the Study: The problem of the present study lies in the fact that there are disabilities in practicing the mathematic verbal problem-solving skills among the primary stage pupils in general and the pupils with learning disabilities in particular, accompanied with a high level of mathematic anxiety. These disabilities have led to a low level of pupils’ achievement despite their medium intelligence. |
