Defining Struggling Mathematicians
Struggling mathematicians are characterized by specific gaps in their mathematical understanding, posing challenges for teachers on a daily basis. Understanding these gaps involves looking beyond broad definitions and focusing on learners who face difficulties due to specific knowledge deficits. Identifying struggling mathematicians can be done through informal classroom assessments and standardized tests, with a recognition that some students may hide their struggles through copying or collaboration.
