Direct linkNunes, Terezinha; Bryant, Peter; Evans, Deborah; Barros, Rossana – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2015
Before starting school, many children reason logically about concepts that are basic to their later mathematical learning. We describe a measure of quantitative reasoning that was administered to children at school entry (mean age 5.8 years) and accounted for more variance in a mathematical attainment test than general cognitive ability 16 months…

Gilmore, Camilla K.; Bryant, Peter – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2008
Understanding conceptual relationships is an important aspect of learning arithmetic. Most studies of arithmetic, however, do not distinguish between children's understanding of a concept and their ability to identify situations in which it might be relevant. We compared 8- to 9-year-old children's use of a computational shortcut based on the…

Peer reviewedBryant, Peter; Rendu, Alison; Christie, Clare – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1999
Examined whether 5- and 6-year-olds understand that addition and subtraction cancel each other and whether this understanding is based on identity or quantity of addend and subtrahend. Found that children used inversion principle. Six- to eight-year-olds also used inversion and decomposition to solve a + b - (B+1) problems. Concluded that…
