van der Aalsvoort, Geerdina; van der Zee, Symen; de Wit, Tjarda – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Numeracy indicates number sense, measurement and geometry but is most often connected to number sense only. Since the domains of geometry and measurement are strongly connected to becoming skilful in science an intervention was carried out to improve children's science skills through measuring and geometry activities and enhance both their…

Matt J. Cavanaugh – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Recent studies show that English learning students are a growing population within the United States school system. Language barriers have been shown to negatively influence reading scores as well as math scores, and math scores are a predictor of future academic success in many subject areas. This qualitative action research study demonstrates…

Patrick K. Kirkland; Claire Guang; Chineme Otuonye; Nicole M. McNeil – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Students who exhibit mature number sense make sense of numbers and operations, use reasoning to notice patterns, and flexibly choose effective problem-solving strategies (McIntosh et al., 1997, https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ecuworks/6819). Due to its dispositional nature, mature number sense is typically measured through in-depth interviews or tests of…

Rodney Nillsen – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Equal representation as a social issue is about the participation of one social group, in a particular context, in proportion to the numbers in the group within the total population. The proportion of women in parliament, and of the participation rate of students of lower socioeconomic status in higher education, are examples. The aims of this…

Akinci-Cosgun, Aysegül; Tezel-Sahin, Fatma – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2022
This study aims to examine the effect of the "Number and Operation Training Program" on early mathematics ability and mother-child relationship at home. In an experimental design, pre-test, post-test, permanence test were used with control groups. A total of 21 children and their mothers participated in the research; consisting of 13…

Kärki, Tomi; McMullen, Jake; Lehtinen, Erno – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Rational number knowledge is a crucial feature of primary school mathematics that predicts students' later mathematics achievement. Many students struggle with the transition from natural number to rational number reasoning, so novel pedagogical approaches to support the development of rational number knowledge are valuable to mathematics…

Coles, Alf; Sinclair, Nathalie – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2017
In this article, we question what is an appropriate balance of ordinal and cardinal work in the early learning of number. We see an over-emphasis, in current research and practice, on the cardinal that leads, for example, to only using small numbers. We report on empirical work we have carried out in the UK and Canada that suggests the potential…

Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Tian, Fang; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Preschoolers' repeating patterning knowledge is predictive of their concurrent and later math and numeracy knowledge, but strong experimental evidence is needed to determine if these relations are causal. The purpose of the current study was to examine the causal effects of repeating patterning and numeracy tutoring on repeating patterning,…

Van Hoof, Jo; Engelen, Anne-Sophie; Van Dooren, Wim – Educational Psychology, 2021
Although a good rational number understanding is of crucial importance for learners' general maths achievement, many learners have misconceptions about fractions. An often described misconception is that a fraction's numerical magnitude increases when its denominator, numerator, or both increase. The present intervention study investigated how…

Schneider, Benedikt; Sparfeldt, Jörn R. – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
In recent studies, test-score increases have been shown in rule-based intelligence test tasks, such as number series, after watching a corresponding video tutorial. An open question remains regarding the mechanisms involved. Specifically, taking notes to describe the relations between numbers might be linked to test scores, and is hypothesized to…

Sinclair, Nathalie; Ferrara, Francesca – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2021
In this article, we explore Whitehead's claim that experience is fundamentally affective. We do so in the context of an Italian primary school classroom featuring the use of the multitouch application "TouchCounts." We study the way in which the children and the iPad take each other up and the meanings of number and arithmetic that…

Yunji Park; Alexandria A. Viegut; Percival G. Matthews – Grantee Submission, 2021
Humans perceptually extract quantity information from our environments, be it from simple stimuli in isolation, or from relational magnitudes formed by taking ratios of pairs of simple stimuli. Some have proposed that these two types of magnitude are processed by a common system, whereas others have proposed separate systems. To test these…

David J. Furjanic – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Despite the importance of mathematical understanding for academic and occupational success, students in the United States are not meeting necessary levels of mathematics achievement. Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) provide a framework for schools to allocate resources to best support students. Universal screening, a key element of MTSS,…

Belin, Mervenur; Akar, Gülseren Karagöz – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2020
The understandings prospective mathematics teachers develop by focusing on quantities and quantitative relationships within real numbers have the potential for enhancing their future students' understanding of real numbers. In this article, we propose an instructional sequence that addresses quantitative relationships for the construction of real…
