This paper focuses on the description of the role of the individual learning plan for children with difficulties in Mathematics, plans which are used in a constructivist approach. In this case, the teacher's role is very important. The teacher must blend the adequate strategies for each student with the cooperative learning strategies. As showed in the case study, students who benefit from individual learning plans in a constructivist approach can improve their mathematical skills. Teachers who taught Mathematics in a constructivist approach which embraces elements of discovery, situated learning, cooperation and use an individual learning plan obtained good results with their students and developed their social skills.
