Abstract:The study investigated on teachers’ awareness of factors responsible for dyscalculia among primary school pupils in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. The study was guided by two research questions and one null hypothesis developed for testing at 0.05 level of significance. Using the descriptive survey design, a sample of 200 primary school teachers drawn using stratified random sampling technique was used for the study. A researcher-developed instrument which was adequately assessed for validity, with an alpha coefficient of 0.76 was used for data collection.
