If people find it hard to lean to do basic maths they are sometimes said to have, or suffer from Dyscalculia.
Dyscalculia comes from Greek (dys=badly) and Latin (calculare = to count) so it means: "counting badly"
It has been defined as:
A condition that affects the ability to acquire arithmetical skills. Dyscalculic learners may have difficulty understanding simple number concepts, lack an intuitive grasp of numbers, and have problems learning number facts and procedures. Even if they produce a correct answer or use a correct method, they may do so mechanically and without confidence
