Resumo

This article is a literature review about Dyscalculia and Ageometria which are part of specific learning disabilities (LD) in Mathematics. Initially, some possible causes of LD are presented. Types of dyscalculia are then listed and the article goes on focusing on Working Memory (WM) and Mathematical Anxiety which play an important role in students’ performance in Mathematics.
