Callejo, M. Luz; Pérez-Tyteca, Patricia; Moreno, Mar; Sánchez-Matamoros, Gloria – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The objective of the study was to characterise how pre-service kindergarten teachers used a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory on length and its measurement to notice children's mathematical thinking. A total of 64 pre-service kindergarten teachers enrolled in an Early Years Education mathematics teaching course were asked to notice teaching…

Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Grantee Submission, 2020
Both recent evidence and research-based early mathematics curricula indicate that repeating patterns--predictable sequences that follow a rule--are a topic of major importance for mathematics development. The purpose of the current study was to help build a theory for how early repeating patterning knowledge contributes to early math development,…

Zippert, Erica L.; Clayback, Kelsey; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019
Preschoolers' patterning skills are predictive of their concurrent and later math knowledge; however, it is unclear if patterning is only a proxy for general intelligence, or how it might support specific math skills. The current study examined the relation between 66 preschool children's patterning skills and their general cognitive abilities,…

McCormick, Meghan; Mattera, Shira; Hsueh, JoAnn – MDRC, 2019
An investment in early childhood education pays off when the benefits continue into adulthood. Although many recent preschool interventions have had positive, short-term effects on young children's language, literacy, mathematics, executive function, and social-emotional development, studies show that related gains in cognitive and academic skills…
