Mesture Kayhan Altay; Çigdem Alkas Ulusoy; Ayse Özer; Aysun Umay – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024
This study aimed to examine kindergarten children's performance and strategies when answering different types of numerosity estimation questions. To this end, interviews were conducted with 44 children (aged 61-80 months) in an online setting, during which they were asked nine estimation questions of three types. These questions (open-ended,…

Hunter, Jodie; Miller, Jodie; Bowmar, Alex; Jones, Ian – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
In this paper, we explore student solutions to a free response mathematical assessment task which had opportunities for students to notice structural properties in the context of number systems. In total, 308 students aged between 10 years to 13 years participated in the study. Their responses were analysed to determine whether they noticed…

Rottmann, Thomas; Haberzettl, Nora; Krämer, Magali – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2020
Disparate approaches to assessment pursue differing purposes. Clinical assessment interviews like the Australian early numeracy interview (ENI; Clarke et al. 2002) or its German version ElementarMathematisches BasisInterview (EMBI; Peter-Koop et al. 2007) can be used to gain insights into children's mathematical thinking and aim at providing a…

Broumi, Said, Ed. – IGI Global, 2023
Fuzzy sets have experienced multiple expansions since their conception to enhance their capacity to convey complex information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets, image fuzzy sets, q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets, and neutrosophic sets are a few of these extensions. Researchers and academics have acquired a lot of information about their theories and methods…

Vasilyeva, Marina; Laski, Elida V.; Veraksa, Aleksander; Bukhalenkova, Daria – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Elementary school mathematics instruction aims to develop children's understanding of both numerical and spatial mathematics--two key areas of mathematical learning. The present study explored how learning within one of these areas may impact the other. Specifically, it investigated whether a measurement-to-number intervention designed to increase…

Steinke, Dorothea A. – Journal of Research and Practice for Adult Literacy, Secondary, and Basic Education, 2017
Community college developmental math students (N = 657) from three math levels were asked to place five whole numbers on a line that had only endpoints 0 and 20 marked. How the students placed the numbers revealed the same three stages of behavior that Steffe and Cobb (1988) documented in determining young children's number sense. 23% of the…

Ulrich, Catherine; Wilkins, Jesse L. M. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2017
Background: Students' ability to construct and coordinate units has been found to have far-reaching implications for their ability to develop sophisticated understandings of key middle-grade mathematical topics such as fractions, ratios, proportions, and algebra, topics that form the base of understanding for most STEM-related fields. Most of the…

Träff, Ulf; Skagerlund, Kenny; Olsson, Linda; Östergren, Rickard – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Background: Developing sufficient mathematical skills is a prerequisite to function adequately in society today. Given this, an important task is to increase our understanding regarding the cognitive mechanisms underlying young people's acquisition of early number skills and formal mathematical knowledge. Aims: The purpose was to examine whether…

Clark, Amy; Henderson, Peter; Gifford, Sue – Education Endowment Foundation, 2020
"Improving Mathematics in the Early Years and Key Stage 1" reviews the best available evidence to offer five recommendations for developing the maths skills of 3-7-year olds. Recommendations include integrating maths into different activities throughout the day -- for example, at registration and snack time -- to familiarise children…
