Sarah Podwinski; Iroise Dumontheil – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2025
Mathematical problem-solving places heavy demands on children's developing working memory capacity. This review examines how offloading numerical information using embodied (e.g. finger counting) or external tools (e.g. manipulatives) can reduce cognitive load and improve mathematical task performance. Strategic offloading emerges in childhood;…

Stacy K. Boote; Terrie M. Galanti; Danielle Felicien; Tara Kelly – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
Teachers and teacher educators have been sharing strategies and resources for implementing mathematics routines in National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) journals for years. A less commonly shared mathematics routine, especially with young learners, is "Clothesline Math" (Shore, 2017, 2018). In this routine, teachers create…

Paul Andrews; Jöran Petersson; Judy Sayers; Eva Rosenqvist – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, drawing on semi-structured interviews with generalist teachers of year-one children in England and Sweden, we examine comparatively the influence of the intended curriculum (teachers in both countries work within mandated national curricula) and the received curriculum (the collectively assumed efficacious practices and goals handed…
