The Give-N (give-a-number) task has become a popular assessment of children's number words and counting knowledge since Wynn's (1990, 1992) seminal work over 30 years ago. Using the Give-N task, numerous studies have shown that children learn the first few number words slowly, before they understand how counting represents number. This learning…

The issue of mathematical knowledge in teaching has been widely discussed over the years. In this study, we carried out a systematic review of the literature with the aim of understanding, quantitatively and qualitatively, the studies developed related to the mathematical knowledge necessary for the teaching of Mathematics, with a focus on Numbers…

This scoping review describes mathematics intervention studies that include initial skill moderation analyses. Sixteen studies were included that focused on students with or at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD). The results revealed that mathematics intervention studies with initial skill moderation analyses focused on students in…

In this meta-analysis of 54 longitudinal studies with over 58,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, we examined the predictive nature of early numeracy measured at or before the first year of formal schooling in relation to later mathematics. Results showed that early numeracy significantly predicted mathematics measured after 6 months…

Impacts of rational number interventions among U.S. students in Grades 3 through 9 with mathematics difficulties are examined using a systematic review and meta-analysis. The primary goal of the meta-analysis was to identify instructional practices that are key drivers of student impacts. From approximately 1,200 published and unpublished study…
