Although several surveys related to dyscalculia have proceeded so far, research seems to fail till now to develop a clear concept map referring to the features of dyscalculia classified according to age. Dyscalculia can be recognized by some specific features that are noticed through all stages of the individual’s development. In this paper a classification of features is proposed, according to individuals’ age as well as several screening methods, in order to ensure efficiency of the screening procedure. Dyscalculia’s features evaluation during different stages of age is crucial since diagnosis is relevant to the age considering that math’s learning difficulties arising in early ages are likely to be remitted since this status is possible to be temporary. An innovative aspect in this work is the citation and analysis of algorithmic thinking difficulties encountering in older ages under the range of learning difficulties in mathematics and dyscalculia.
