My crystal math: enhancing numeracy and basic operations skills in autistic children through mobile applications in mathematics education
Nur Atikah Mohd Roslan1, Nurulhuda Zainuddin2.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized
by deficits in social interaction, communication challenges, and repetitive behaviors. These
factors create significant challenges for individuals with autism, their families, and society at
large. Particularly in the realm of social communication, autistic children struggle to form and
maintain connections, relying on nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, and eye
contact. Consequently, teaching mathematics to autistic children requires an innovative and
tailored approach. The objective of this research is to develop a mobile application specifically
designed to help autistic children learn numeracy and basic mathematical operations. The
project follows the waterfall methodology, encompassing requirements gathering, analysis,
design, and implementation phases to achieve its specific goals. The resulting mobile app
provides a comprehensive learning experience, encompassing numeracy, addition, subtraction,
and a final quiz to assess the understanding of autistic children as they engage with the
interactive games. The developed mobile application serves as a valuable tool for teachers in
effectively instructing and guiding autistic children in mathematics. Its tailored approach
caters to the unique learning styles of autistic individuals, enhancing their interaction and
overall educational experience. This application has the potential to become an invaluable
resource, enabling autistic children to acquire foundational mathematical skills with greater
ease and effectiveness.
