Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hojnoski, Robin L.; Polignano, Joy C.; Caskie, Grace I. L. – Early Education and Development, 2023
Research Findings: This study examined age-based developmental trajectories of four key number sense (NS) skills within an accelerated longitudinal design. Using data from 408 preschoolers, ages 45 to 68 months, linear and latent basis growth curves were evaluated. Results indicated growth across NS skills was best represented as nonlinear for all…

Sepúlveda, Felipe; Rodri´guez, Cristina; Peake, Christian – Early Education and Development, 2020
The central purpose of the present study is to assess the early numeracy skills of Chilean kindergarten students, taking into consideration the socioeconomic status (SES) of the schools they attend. A sample of 19 urban schools and 498 students were used for the study. "Research Findings": The data analysis showed statistical differences…

Soto-Calvo, Elena; Simmons, Fiona R.; Adams, Anne-Marie; Francis, Hannah N.; Giofre, David – Early Education and Development, 2020
Research Findings: It has been proposed that the home literacy environment may influence the development of early number skills. However, the results of studies examining the association between home literacy experiences and early number skills are mixed. This could be due to the way that the home literacy experiences are conceptualized and…

Kotsopoulos, Donna; Makosz, Samantha; Zambrzycka, Joanna – Early Education and Development, 2017
Research Findings: In this research we explore the relationship between young children's number knowledge and their measurement of length. First, we examined 4- to 5-year-olds' (kindergartners') understanding of and preference for using standard or nonstandard units to measure length. Second, we investigated whether the following tasks were…

Titeca, Daisy; Roeyers, Herbert; Ceulemans, Annelies; Desoete, Annemie – Early Education and Development, 2015
Research Findings: To date, studies comparing the mathematical abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing children are scarce, and results remain inconclusive. In general, studies on this topic focus on mathematical abilities learned from elementary school onward, with little attention for possible…
