Despite extensive research suggesting the importance of students developing strong foundational math skills during early grades, more than 60% of 4th graders in the United States lack proficiency in mathematics. Such data are influenced by several factors, including summer learning loss in math, negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and a…

Team-based learning (TBL) is a flipped classroom model, where small group discussions and peer learning play a central role. Some of its features, such as scalability to large classes and a high degree of structure, together with a well-documented success rate in other fields, could make TBL an attractive option for the mathematics educator…

Scholarly contextualisation: There is a need to fill gaps in knowledge from secondary school before starting university curriculum. Cooperative learning, a form of active learning, implicitly includes peer-to-peer teaching, and is a good candidate when filling the knowledge gaps relies on high student involvement. Aim and Problem: 1) We describe a…

This report focuses on Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's 2022-2023 implementation of "My Math Academy" with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students across its 17 elementary schools. Students' program usage has been associated with significant improvements on CIRCLE Progress Monitoring Assessment System (pre-K) and on…

Early intervention includes approaches to responding to young children may profit from targeted services. This study aims to synthesize recent evaluations of intervention programs of Big Math for Little Kids, Building Blocks, and Prekindergarten Mathematics Intervention Program in preschool and kindergarten children to determine the effectiveness…

This study examined how word-problem characteristics influenced students' learning and retention of word-problem knowledge during and after an intervention. The participants were 221 fourth-grade students (average age at pretest = 8.8 years) who experienced word-problem difficulties (WPD) and had received a word-problem intervention in third…

This report focuses on the 2023-2024 implementation of "My Math Academy" at Epic Charter Schools in Oklahoma. "My Math Academy" was first used with a small pilot group of students and educators at the charter school network in school year 2022-2023, and based on the initial positive results, the implementation of the program…

Early mathematics achievement sets the stage for a range of important academic and career outcomes. As efforts to improve elementary mathematics instruction have increased, efforts to better understand how students develop mathematics knowledge and why students respond to mathematics instruction have also emerged. Given known correlations between…

Problem-posing has been recognized for enhancing students' engagement, problem-solving skills, and mathematical knowledge, which leads to higher mathematics achievement. This research is experimental research with a randomized comparison groups pre-test and post-test design, which aims to examine the effect of using online problem-posing to…

In this study, the effect of the Mathematics Bag Early Education Program (MAÇEP) on the mathematics skills (number/counting, geometry, measurement) of 57-69-month-old preschool children was investigated. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest, posttest, follow-up test, and control group were used in the study. The study group consisted of 22…

In the 21st century, the demand for proficiency in mathematics has escalated, as it underpins critical thinking, problem-solving, and innovation in various fields. Recognizing the significance of mathematics education, after-school programs have emerged as potent supplementary platforms to enhance students' mathematical skills and achievement.…

Background and objectives: An early understanding of numerosity is crucial to developing proficiency in arithmetic, and rapid pattern recognition via subitizing is key in this process. The training app "LORE" specifically targets and cultivates pattern recognition skills from the beginning of formal schooling. This study investigated…

This study aimed to investigate the impact of Learning Trajectories (LT[superscript 2])-based games on the mathematical learning of four-year-old kindergarteners. The research employed the ADDIE paradigm, incorporating a pre-test, post-test, and a control group experimental design. The sample group comprised 30 children--15 in the experimental…

Well-designed math apps can foster children's numeracy development. Although parents are interested in using math apps for their children, the quantity and variability in quality of apps can make app selection challenging. As such, it is important to know how parents evaluate numeracy content in math apps for their children. This study…

The experience of math anxiety can have detrimental effects on students' math performance, and researchers have in recent years tried to design interventions aiming at reducing math anxiety. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the effectiveness of math anxiety interventions in reducing math anxiety and improving math performance. The meta-analysis…
