Once a student find problem in any one of these, it is difficult for him to proceed in the subject of mathematics as these skills lay down the basic foundation of mathematics. The present experimental study was conducted with an objective to study the effect of the Multi-Sensory Approach on Performance in Mathematics of students with difficulties in Arithmetic. The sample of the study consisted of 60 students of 3rd class of Government schools of Chandigarh having arithmetical difficulties.
