The present study examined the specific difficulties and error patterns exhibited by Upper Primary School(Grade VIII)Students with Mathematics Learning Disability (MLD) in Practical Geometry. A Mathematics Diagnostic Test in Practical Geometry was developed and administered to identify criterion-wise difficulties and errors in construction-based tasks. The analysis revealed that students experienced considerable difficulties in understanding construction and sequencing procedures correctly, using geometric instruments accurately, and maintaining precision in constructions. The errors committed reflected underlying conceptual and procedural difficulties. The findings emphasize the importance of diagnostic assessment in Practical Geometry and provide a sound basis for informed instructional planning and academic support for students with Mathematics Learning Disability.
