The condition of learning disabilities in Mathematics is a universal problem that occurs in all languages, cultures and nations in the world. The study targeted normal children who seem to have normal intelligence in all other areas of studies but have severe difficulties in learning Mathematical and solving Mathematical problems. The signs and causes of learning disabilities were discussed, it was discovered that learning disabilities in Mathematics is a problem that are intrinsic to individual children which could be due to central nervous system of dysfunction, dyscalculia, dyslexia and development of aphasia that resulted to heterogeneous group of disorders that manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning of Mathematical concepts and abilities. Children have different patterns of learning strengths and weakness; there is no specific profile that describes all children. Learning disabilities in Mathematics may occur concomitantly with other handicapping conditions, whereas, there are some children who are physically challenged, yet they are mathematically sound. Emotionally disorders or physically challenged of a child may not be a hindrance to his\her cognitive psychological development. This study considered the extent to which peer tutoring can usefully rehabilitate children with learning disabilities in mathematics to normal classroom situation in Nigeria. The study also considered children with learning disabilities in Mathematics by peering them with children who are mathematically sound. Calculation and reasoning are the affected areas of children with learning disabilities in mathematics. Teachers need a variety of strategies for teaching mathematics concepts, skills, and problem solving to rehabilitate children with learning disabilities to normal classroom situation.
