Panagiotis-Christos Trichas

Abstract


The main purpose of education in general is to help students with intellectual disabilities to use their potential to the fullest extent possible to be able to participate in all social activities. In this paper, we present the data and findings obtained from the research conducted on 100 educators who teach mathematics and are related to the strategies applied by the educators to teach mathematics to students with intellectual disabilities.
