This study aims to analyse the mathematical difficulties that occur in children with
dyscalculia cases in the concept of multiplication which focused on the application
of word problems. We used qualitative methods by selecting the type of case study
research and selecting research instruments in the form of test instruments and
interview sheets according to the research flow. The subject of the study was one
child in the fourth grade of elementary school who had a case of dyscalculia based
on the analysis of doctors and exceptional therapists. The use of random sampling
technique to select research subjects in two child development clinics is under the
research objectives. The results of the study concluded that subject has difficulty
understanding the concept of multiplication, not just a routine procedure, but focus
on representing multiplication functionally. In addition, there are other findings
that there are difficulties in student recognizing number symbols and connecting
