Inclusive Mathematics Education and Basic Academic Skills: Language and Numeracy

Dear Colleagues,

The basic academic skills are reading, writing, and calculation. These are unquestionably necessary skills in school systems. Through very diverse methodologies and the combination of all kinds of personal, didactic, and technological resources, their development must be sought in all students. However, all students do not start, acquire, and develop these skills equally, but each collective and each student needs to find their own rhythm, path, and result. Special Needs Education (SNE) and/or Barriers to Learning and Participation (BLP) in communication and calculation require an attention to diversity by means of universal design for learning and the curriculum adaptation. The obligation of educational sciences and educational institutions is to guarantee and improve teaching in the above manner so that all students can acquire written communication and calculation. Only very exceptional cases will not manage to acquire or develop them to the extent desired. Let us focus on the first and not the last. That is the purpose of this monograph.
