Abstract

This research explores the utilization of digital platforms as a means to
overcome learning barriers in mathematics for students with learning
difficulties, particularly dyscalculia and dyslexia. The study focuses on
strategies that connect mathematical concepts with real-life situations
and world problems, such as green math and financial math. Additionally,
it investigates the effectiveness of peer support through math debates
and interdisciplinary connections with other STEM subjects. Digital
platforms offer various advantages, including enhanced visualization,
dynamic learning experiences, and independent exploration of mathematical
concepts. By contextualizing math within real-world contexts,
students with learning difficulties can develop a deeper understanding
and practical application of mathematical principles. The incorporation
of peer support through math debates promotes collaborative learning
environments, facilitating confidence-building, critical thinking, and
problem-solving skills. Connecting mathematics with other STEM disciplines
provides students with a holistic perspective, emphasizing the interdisciplinary
nature of scientific knowledge. The research is conducted
in primary education settings, specifically atOOU”Ilinden” Kriva Palanka,
OOU ”Vera Jocic” Gazi Baba - Skopje, and OOU ”Ljuben Lape” Skopje.
The findings of this study contribute to the existing knowledge on leveraging
digital platforms to enhance mathematics education and provide
valuable insights into strategies for overcoming learning barriers faced
by students with dyscalculia and dyslexia, ultimately promoting engagement,
understanding, and application of mathematical concepts in realworld
contexts.
