Paliwal, Veena; Baroody, Arthur J. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The "cardinality principle" (CP) is a conceptual basis of counting collections meaningfully and provides a foundation for understanding other key aspects of numeracy, such as the successor principle or counting-on to determine sums. Unfortunately, little research has focused on how best to teach the CP. One suggestion is that modeling…

Sirakaya, Didem Alsancak – Participatory Educational Research, 2020
This study aimed to determine how secondary school students' computational thinking skills changed according to gender, technology use i.e. mobile device ownership, technology competence, daily technology use periods, attitude towards science and attitude towards math. In addition, the relationships between these variables was determined in this…

Gillott, Lauren; Joyce-Gibbons, Andrew; Hidson, Elizabeth – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2020
This study compares computational thinking skills evidenced by two groups of students in two different secondary schools: one group per school was studying a qualification in Computer Science. The aim was to establish which elements of computational thinking were more prevalent in students studying Computer Science to a higher level. This in turn…

Mazzocco, Michèle M. M.; Chan, Jenny Yun-Chen; Bye, Jeffrey K.; Padrutt, Emily R.; Praus-Singh, Taylor; Lukowski, Sarah; Brown, Ethan; Olson, Rachel E. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Children's spontaneous focus on numerosity (SFON) is described as an unprompted tendency that is stable across contexts. The attention to number task (AtN), an experimental forced-choice picture-matching task designed to evaluate select aspects of children's focus on numerosity, may reveal whether task materials can implicitly prompt children to…

Montgomery, Jason M.; Mazziotti, David A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
An introduction to the Quantum Chemistry Package (QCP), implemented in the computer algebra system Maple, is presented. The QCP combines sophisticated electronic structure methods and Maple's easy-to-use graphical interface to enable computation and visualization of the electronic energies and properties of molecules. Here we describe how the QCP…

Malone, Stephanie A.; Burgoyne, Kelly; Hulme, Charles – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
We assessed a range of theoretically critical predictors (numerosity discrimination, number knowledge, counting, language, executive function and finger gnosis) of early arithmetic development in a large unselected sample of 569 children at school entry. Assessments were repeated 12 months later. Although all predictors (except finger gnosis) were…

Saritepeci, Mustafa – Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 2020
This paper is to investigate into the effect of design-based learning (DBL) activities and programing training on computational thinking (CT) skills. In total, 119 from the ninth grade students were recruited for this study conducted within the scope of Computer Science course. A semi-experimental research design was adopted, and DBL activities…

Thacker, Ian – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2020
Texts presenting novel statistics can shift learners attitudes and conceptions about controversial science topics. However, not a lot is known about the mechanisms underlying this conceptual change. The purpose of this study was to investigate two potential mechanisms that underlie learning from novel statistics: numerical estimation skills and…

Tucker, Stephen I.; Johnson, Teri Nicole – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2020
Number sense is the foundation of arithmetic and algebra, yet relatively little research has deeply investigated what children do as they develop number sense. This case study provides insights into that development as it occurred during interactions with a multi-touch mathematics digital game, including conceptually congruent gestures. Findings…

Karabey, Burak – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2019
This study aims to introduce a method that is based on the relationship between numbers and geometry, which can be used to show the exact location of rational numbers on the number line, compare rational numbers, make calculations, and examine rational numbers conceptually through parallel lines. It is believed that this method will to contribute…

Baroutsis, Aspa; White, Sonia L. J.; Ferdinands, Ella; Goldsmith, William; Lambert, Elizabeth – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
Computational thinking can be defined as "solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behaviour, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science" (Wing, 2006, p. 33). There are strong links between computational thinking associated with coding and mathematical thinking (Wing, 2006). The digital technologies…

Melkonian, Vardges – PRIMUS, 2019
This paper discusses a game that can be used for introducing the binary representation of integers in an interactive and fun environment. The game is introduced in the way it is presented in an undergraduate Discrete Mathematics class. Variations of the game are discussed, particularly its extension to base-three representation of integers. It is…

Morano, Stephanie; Riccomini, Paul J.; Lee, Joo-Young – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2019
Abstract Assessment results are used to investigate relations between performance on a fraction number line estimation task and a circular area model estimation task for students with LD in Grades 6-8. Results indicate that students' abilities to represent fractions on number lines and on circular area models are distinct skills. In addition,…

Liebscher, Eckhard; Michael, Ben – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
In the paper a software solution is presented for the generation of instances of exercises. The focus is on education in mathematics but the approach can be adopted in other fields such as computer science and natural science. The present solution uses the R environment for the generation process and LaTeX for the content presentation. In the…

M.; Dionne, Ginette; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boivin, Michel; Kovas, Yulia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood. Aims: This…
