Direct linkKlosterman, Peter – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2018
Despite the numerous benefits that stem from a coherent mathematical understanding, it is uncommon for teachers to encourage students to form a developed web of mathematical connections (Mousley, 1999). Additionally, when students explain their thinking, they frequently do not state how their reasoning connects to prior knowledge. This obscures…

Murphy, Amanda; Terrizzi, Marissa; Cormas, Peter – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
"Probability is a difficult concept to teach, because children and adults find it counterintuitive." This is impetus to consider the detailed planning of a set of lessons with a "mixed", in many senses, group of fourth graders. Can the use of prior experience, and the knowledge associated with that experience, make probability a concept that is…

Barlow, Angela T.; Harmon, Shannon – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2012
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) is different from the objectives that many teachers have previously experienced in their state frameworks. Although the mathematical topics of the two may be the same, the mathematical expectations within the Standards require a deeper understanding by teachers and students. In this article, the…

Peer reviewedBristow, Stephen; Desforges, Charles – Research Papers in Education: Policy and Practice, 1995
Examines young children's learning, focusing on strategies used to apply old knowledge in new learning. Data from a longitudinal study of early elementary students' mathematical knowledge indicated that children's abilities to learn were strongly influenced by their understanding of the contexts in which they were required to participate in…

Saxton, Matthew; Cakir, Kadir – Child Development, 2006
Factors affecting performance on base-10 tasks were investigated in a series of four studies with a total of 453 children aged 5-7 years. Training in counting-on was found to enhance child performance on base-10 tasks (Studies 2, 3, and 4), while prior knowledge of counting-on (Study 1), trading (Studies 1 and 3), and partitioning (Studies 1 and…

As part of the Victorian Early Numeracy Research Project, over 1400 Victorian children in the first (Preparatory) year of school were assessed in mathematics by their classroom teachers. Using a task-based, one-to-one interview, administered during the first and last month of the school year, a picture emerged of the mathematical knowledge and…

Resnick, Lauren B.; And Others – 1991
Early results are reported for an effort to use a reasoning-based mathematics program in the primary classroom. In the preschool years, children develop knowledge about quantities of material, referred to as protoquantitative reasoning. Integrating counting with the protoquantitative schemas seems to occur as early as 4 years of age. Drawing on…
