The objective of remedial teaching is to give additional help to pupils who, for one reason or another, have fallen behind the rest of the class in Mathematics. Children with learning difficulties have the same psychological needs and characteristics as other children. Some of them, however, may be less able to organize their perceptions or comprehend abstract ideas and concepts. Some may have poor memory, poor level of motivation, short span of attention in work situations or associated behavioural problems. Above all, owing to encounters with failure they tend to have low expectations of themselves and, having rarely distinguished themselves at school, also have low aspirations.

The ultimate aim of remedial teaching is to help pupils who have fallen behind to learn to the best of their ability and to bring them back into mainstream classes as far as possible.
