Poor mathematical abilities have a substantial societal impact. This special issue includes contributions discussing learning of mathematics that have impact on educational policy or elementary school practice. All papers explore and illustrate recent studies and available literature in the field of understanding typical and atypical mathematics learning. They reflect on mechanisms of conceptual development, models of typical and atypical learning, individual quantitative and qualitative differences, strengths and weaknesses, factors that appear promising and positively influencing the learning process of students’ learning of mathematics, and on interventions that aim to improve mathematics performance even in very young children.
