Abstract
This qualitative paper aimed to identify the problems of special education teachers in teaching modified curriculum of Mathematics to students with deafness from Grade 6 to 10. It was also intended to suggest measures for the improvement of the said curriculum. Population of study consisted of special education teachers of government sector who were teaching mathematics to students with hearing impairment from grade 6 to 10. A sample of twelve teachers was selected conveniently from Government Deaf and Defective Hearing schools working in Lahore, Gujranwala, Rajanpur, Hassan Abdaal, Sialkot, Multan and Bahawalpur. The math teachers were interviewed to know their problems in teaching present modified math curriculum to students with deafness and to take their suggestions for the improvement of this curriculum. The results of the study showed that teachers were facing problems in basic concept formation in teaching mathematics to students with deafness because the curriculum of mathematics was not modified according to the special educational needs of students with deafness. So it is recommended that curriculum may be modified keeping in view special educational needs of students with deafness. Teacher training workshops on teaching Mathematics to students with deafness should be conducted.
