Direct linkPowell, Sarah R.; Urrutia, Vanessa Y.; Berry, Katherine A.; Barnes, Marcia A. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2022
In mathematics, the expectation to set up and solve word problems emerges as early as kindergarten; however, many students who experience mathematics difficulty (MD) and dual-language learners often present with specific challenges in this area. To investigate why these populations experience word-problem difficulty, we examined the word, problem…

This study aims to examine the differences in numerosity estimation on a right-to-left number line between second- to fourth-grade students and undergraduate students, together with whether number-line estimation is related to basic arithmetic tasks (addition and subtraction). Hence, 53 Arabic-speaking children and 63 Arabic-speaking adults…

Vermeulen, Jorine A.; Béguin, Anton; Scheltens, Floor; Eggen, Theo J. H. M. – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2020
Learning to solve subtraction problems that require borrowing (e.g., 83-57=) is challenging, and these problems often cause 'bridging' errors, such as the smaller-from-larger error. This study explores how bridging errors in subtraction are related to students' mathematical ability. The study involved 694 third-grade students and 35 teachers from…

Bautista, Debbie; Mitchelmore, Michael; Mulligan, Joanne – Educational Psychology, 2009
Young Filipino children are expected to solve mathematical word problems in English, which is not their mother tongue. Because of this, it is often assumed that Filipino children have difficulties in solving problems because they cannot read or comprehend what they have read. This study tested this assumption by determining whether presenting word…
