Abstract

This research is essential to know and analyze various mathematical difficulties, cognitive characteristics, and gender differences in Mathematics Performance of students with MLD. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The research subject consisted of 17 students with 4th-grade MLD in inclusive schools. Data collection techniques were tests, interviews, and documentation. The test instrument included aspects of mathematical skills with about 30 items. The results based on the type of mathematical difficulty showed that the operations of counting whole numbers were difficulty 67.7%, fractions 58.8%, measurements 82.3%, angles, flat shapes, 57.8 &, area, circumference, and volume 80.8%, data processing and story questions 67%. The research findings on the cognitive abilities showed difficulties in mathematical aspects, concepts, operating numbers, working memory, executive function, phonological processing accuracy, non-verbal problem solving, and a combination of reading difficulties. It is also related to the finding of mathematical ability based on the gender differences that male students are more dominant in geometry, while female students are more dominant in arithmetic operations and story problems. So this finding reinforced the idea that students with MLD are heterogeneous disorders.
