The SMILD project is promoted by the Dept. of Mathematics of the University of Genoa. The project aims at promoting the acquisition of skills and key competences by secondary school Maths teachers to address learning disabilities of their students. The project has developed Guidelines addressed to Maths teachers on analyzing the learning disabilities in Maths as well as on how to address these learning disabilities and common difficulties in Maths.
