Malaysia’s commitment to inclusive education, as outlined in the Zero Reject Policy and the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025, aims to provide equitable learning opportunities for all students, including those with special educational needs. However, mathematics remains a challenging subject for these students due to cognitive, attentional, and instructional barriers. To address this, the “Teroka Matematik (Dari Objek Nyata ke Angka Hebat)” has been specifically designed for special needs students or “Murid Bekeperluan Pendidikan Khas” (MBPK) facing learning difficulties. Developed using the ADDIE model, this module emphasizes the analysis, design, and development phases.Uniquely, the module integrates the CRA (Concrete-Representational-Abstract) Approach and the Lesh Translation Model to facilitate inclusive, structured, and meaningful mathematics learning for daily life. The CRA approach enables students to comprehend concepts concretely before advancing to visual and abstract representations. The module includes comprehensive guidelines, instructional steps, learning materials, worksheets, and assessments for the Number Concept topic. These teaching and learning activities are designed to foster strong and enduring mathematical skills among special needs students. A key advantage of this module for MBPK is its flexibility in representation (concrete, visual, or abstract), which helps reduce learning anxiety, enhances skill development according to individual abilities, and improves long-term retention through multisensory experiences (touch, see, and count) tailored to diverse learning styles. Additionally, it benefits the broader community, including students at various educational levels who struggle with foundational numeracy skills.
