Abstract: Students with dyscalculia often have difficulty with tasks involving arithmetic, measurement, and recognizing patterns in numbers. However, with the rise of technology, we can now create innovative tools to help them learn. This paper explores the effectiveness of the Wordwall app in improving the math learning experience of children with learning disabilities. The focus of this study is to identify the suitability of WordWall app in teaching the topic value of money and investigate how the WordWall app help to improve dyscalculia students' understanding of this topic. This study uses a qualitative approach by involving two special education teachers who are teaching in Malaysia government secondary school. Interviews are the methods used as research instruments for of data collection. Based on the outcome, it’s shows that the WordWall app able to help and improve the learning of the students with dyscalculia and it has the potential to be use in the classrooms. Nevertheless, there are some limitations that came up in the process of using the WordWall application. Teachers also provide suggestions for WordWall application in mathematics subjects on the topic of money value. In conclusion, this study provides an important view on the appropriateness of using the WordWall application for the topic of the value of money in mathematics subjects for students with dyscalculia.
