Marah Sutherland; David Furjanic; Joanna Hermida; Ben Clarke – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2024
This article illustrates how teachers can use number lines to support students with or at risk for learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics. Number lines can be strategically used to help students understand relations among numbers, approach number combinations (i.e., basic facts), as well as represent and solve addition and subtraction problems.…

Glaser, Maria; Knops, André – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
The notion that mental arithmetic is associated with shifts of spatial attention along a spatially organised mental number representation has received empirical support from three lines of research. First, participants tend to overestimate results of addition and underestimate those of subtraction problems in both exact and approximate formats.…

Eleftheriadi, Artemis; Lavidas, Konstantinos; Koustourakis, Gerasimos; Papadakis, Stamatis – Educational Process: International Journal, 2023
Background/purpose: Investigation into the misconceptions of preschool students in mathematics and their differences between the ages of 4-5 and 5-6 years old helps form appropriate developmental mathematics teaching programs. However, although several studies have been conducted examining preschoolers' previous knowledge and misconceptions about…

Powell, Sarah R.; Akther, Syeda Sharjina; Yoon, Na Young; Berry, Katherine A.; Nemcek, Carmen; Fall, Anna-Maria; Roberts, Greg – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2023
This study examined the influence of addition and subtraction practice embedded within a word-problem intervention for Grade 3 students experiencing word-problem difficulty. Students (N = 448) were randomly assigned to one of two variants of a word-problem intervention or a business-as-usual comparison condition. Within the word-problem…

Haman, Maciej; Lipowska, Katarzyna – Developmental Science, 2021
People tend to underestimate subtraction and overestimate addition outcomes and to associate subtraction with the left side and addition with the right side. These two phenomena are collectively labeled 'operational momentum' (OM) and thought to have their origins in the same mechanism of 'moving attention along the mental number line'. OM in…

Kullberg, Angelika; Björklund, Camilla – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
In this paper we report on findings from a study of 5-to-6-year-old children's ways of structuring part-part-whole relations using finger patterns. We focused our analysis on data from interviews with 28 children who during their last year of preschool learned to enact a structural approach. We used this data set to analyze their different ways of…

Chen, Edward H.; Bailey, Drew H.; Jaeggi, Susanne M. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Several working memory processes have been hypothesized to influence different arithmetic operations. Working memory has been compartmentalized into a number of different sub-processes, such as phonological memory and visuospatial memory that are believed to have unique contributions to the performance of two distinct arithmetic operations:…

Boby Ho-Hong Ching; Xiang Yu Li; Tiffany Ting Chen – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research showed that cross-notation magnitude knowledge of fractions and decimals was related to better performance in fraction arithmetic, but it remains unclear whether it made an independent contribution to fraction arithmetic longitudinally when other cognitive variables are considered. Aims: To examine the extent to which…

Kelly-Ann Gesuelli; Nancy C. Jordan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Fraction arithmetic facility is fundamental to learning more advanced math topics. However, attaining the ability to add and subtract fractions is hard for many students. The present longitudinal study examined students' growth on simple addition and subtraction word problems between fourth and sixth grades (N = 536). Latent class growth analyses…

Björklund, Camilla; Kullberg, Angelika; Kempe, Ulla Runesson – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
The idea of using fingers as a key component in arithmetic development has received a great deal of support, much of which is based on neuroscientific evidence. However, this body of work pays limited attention to how fingers are used and possible different outcomes in arithmetic problem solving. The aim of our paper, based on an analysis of 126…

Kullberg, Angelika; Björklund, Camilla; Brkovic, Irma; Runesson Kempe, Ulla – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2020
In this paper, we report how 5-year-olds' arithmetic skills developed through participation in an 8-month-long intervention. The intervention program aimed to enhance the children's ways of experiencing numbers' part-part-whole relations as a basis for arithmetic skills and was built on principles from the variation theory of learning. The report…

Darius Endlich; Wolfgang Lenhard; Peter Marx; Tobias Richter – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Children with mathematical difficulties need to spend more time than typically achieving children on solving even simple equations. Since these tasks already require a larger share of their cognitive resources, additional demands imposed by the need to switch between tasks may lead to a greater decline of performance in children with mathematical…

Alnajashi, Sumyah – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
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…

Nurnberger-Haag, Julie; Kratky, Joseph; Karpinski, Aryn C. – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
Skills and understanding of operations with negative numbers, which are typically taught in middle school, are crucial aspects of numerical competence necessary for all subsequent mathematics. To more swiftly and coherently develop the field's understanding of how to foster this critical competence, we need shared measures that allow us to compare…

Codding, Robin S.; Begeny, John; Kromminga, Kourtney R.; Edmunds, Rebecca R.; Klaft, Jenna; Diggs, Calvary; Hansen-Burke, Annie – Journal of Applied School Psychology, 2020
Overall mathematics proficiency of fourth graders in the U.S. continues to be poor and students falling at or below the 25th percentile display declining performance (NCES, 2017), which suggests the need for schools to provide supplemental intervention supports as soon as skill gaps are observed. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of small group…
