We have done a qualitative and quantitative study about math problems on second­ary school students. The study is based on the diagnosis, treatment and training of teachers, about students who have math difficulties. The aim of this work is to obtain teachers “perceptions about students” diagnosis, treatment / improvement and continuing education for students who have math difficulties. By having interviewed various teachers through surveys we have received answers to their concerns about the diagnosis, treatment and the importance of continuous training of teachers on students’ mathematics difficulties. Unfortunately, today educational materials and action plans are not suited for all students and all students are not at the level they should attain. According to our observations and findings, students at both middle school and high school with math problems have  had problems throughout the school years and may perhaps not always got the right support and help they would have needed. The work also includes a review of literature about diagnosis treatment and education concerning students with mathematics difficulties.

Denna studie är en kvalitativ och kvantitativ studie om matematiksvårigheter hos högstadieelever. Studien går ut på att undersöka åtgärdsprogram, bearbetning och lärarens fortbildning hos elever som har matematiksvårigheter. Syftet med detta arbete är att belysa de matematiksvårigheter som lärarna ser hos sina elever. Genom att ha intervjuat ett antal matematiklärare via enkäter har vi fått svar på deras synpunkter angående diagnostisering, åtgärdsprogram och fortbildningens betydelse hos lärarna angående elevers matematiksvårigheter. Våra observationer och undersökningsresultat visar att många elever i skolan har svårigheter i ämnet matematik och att de inte alltid får det rätta stödet och hjälpen. Arbetet innehåller även tidigare forskning och debatt angående diagnostisering och hjälp av elever med matematiksvårigheter.
