Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of the PowerPoint software in developing the skills of mathematical operations among students with special needs in Jordan. To achieve the aim of the study, the method was used (semi-experimental) for its suitability for the purposes of the study, where the researchers chose an intentional sample of (40) students with special needs and they were randomly distributed into two groups (experimental and control), and the two study tools were prepared, which were the achievement test (pre-post). And test the transmission of the effect of learning after verifying their validity and reliability. The results of the study showed that the use of the PowerPoint software has contributed to the development of the skills of arithmetic operations (addition - subtraction), and that the software has a clear impact on the transmission of the learning effect among students. In light of these results, the study recommended the use of PowerPoint software in developing all mathematical operations skills among students with learning disabilities.
