Abstract

Abstract:The learning of mathematics in Ecuador applied to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) has presented greater difficulties in developing mathematical problems and obtaining an effective resolution. Within the group of students with SEN there is a subset where one of the most common psychological disorders in children and young people is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The objective of this research is to improve the learning of mathematics in a first year high school student (17 years old), diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder -Inattentive (F90.8) and a Mixed Developmental Disorder of School Learning (F81.3) with difficulties in mathematics. Through a qualitative single case research, applying a historical documentary study and then a quantitative single case research with longitudinal data collection, applying different mathematical stimulation activities in the Educaplay Tool. For the analysis of results, a Student t-test was performed for related samples at a significance level of 95%, where a significant difference in the improvement of mathematics learning by applying the Educaplay tool was proved.
