Abstract
Some children find it difficult to learn mathematics no matter how hard they try. Based on cluster analyses, we found that Chinese children who were poor math-achievers fell into five subtypes of mathematical difficulties – each showing specific cognitive deficits. Such subtyping can have useful implications for assessment and intervention.
