Makonye, Judah P. – Research in Education, 2020
This study focuses on the teaching and learning of the pre-numeracy concepts through technology at Foundation Phase. It pre-supposes that the use of information and communication technology resources presents an innovative way to improve teaching and learning mathematics. The author argues that young children's relational conceptions of number lie…

Sari, Mehmet Hayri; Aydogdu, Seyhmus – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2020
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of concrete and technology-assisted learning tools on developing the conception of place value, mathematical achievement and arithmetical performance of primary school 4th graders. The study group was comprised of three different primary schools. There were no group differences prior to…

Mntunjani, Lindiwe M.; Adendorf, Stanley A.; Siyepu, Sibawu W. – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2018
Background: The poor performance of learners in mathematics has long been a matter of concern in South Africa. The Annual National Assessment (ANA) results reveal that the problem starts in the foundation phase with number concepts. Aim: This research sought to ascertain how foundation phase teachers used mathematical resources to teach number…

Ben-Yehuda, Miriam; Sharoni, Varda – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
The research examined the calculation methods used by pupils in Grades 3-6 when they were presented with problems that could be worked out efficiently and flexibly by applying number sense. The study was conducted with a convenience sample of 179 pupils between the ages 7 years and 10 months to 12 years and 10 months. in mainstream education in…

Lussier, Courtney A.; Cantlon, Jessica F. – Developmental Science, 2017
Children and adults show behavioral evidence of psychological overlap between their early, non-symbolic numerical concepts and their later-developing symbolic numerical concepts. An open question is to what extent the common cognitive signatures observed between different numerical notations are coupled with physical overlap in neural processes.…

Braham, Emily J.; Libertus, Melissa E. – Developmental Science, 2017
Although growing evidence suggests a link between children's math skills and their ability to estimate numerical quantities using the approximate number system (ANS), little is known about the sources underlying individual differences in ANS acuity and their relation with specific mathematical skills. To examine the role of intergenerational…

Abd-Elhameed, W. M.; Zeyada, N. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This paper is concerned with developing a new class of generalized numbers. The main advantage of this class is that it generalizes the two classes of generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized Pell numbers. Some new identities involving these generalized numbers are obtained. In addition, the two well-known identities of Sury and Marques which…

Strømskag, Heidi – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
This theoretical paper presents a methodology for instructional design in mathematics. It is a theoretical analysis of a proposed model for instructional design, where tasks are embedded in situations that preserve meaning with respect to particular pieces of mathematical knowledge. The model is applicable when there is an intention of teaching…

Szkudlarek, Emily; Brannon, Elizabeth M. – Language Learning and Development, 2017
In this article we first review evidence for the approximate number system (ANS), an evolutionarily ancient and developmentally conservative cognitive mechanism for representing number without language. We then critically review five different lines of support for the proposal that symbolic representations of number build upon the ANS, and discuss…

Morra, Sergio; Bisagno, Elisa; Caviola, Sara; Delfante, Chiara; Mammarella, Irene Cristina – Cognition and Instruction, 2019
This article reconsiders Case's theory of central conceptual structures (CCS), examining the relation between working memory and the acquisition of quantitative CCS. The lead hypothesis is that the development of working memory capacity shapes the development of quantitative concepts (whole and rational numbers). Study I, with 779 children from…

Yang, Der-Ching – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
To assess the strength of conceptual understanding of number sense, a three-tier number sense test (TTNST) for fifth-grade students was developed and validated in this study. The three-tier test includes a content tier that assesses content knowledge of number sense, a reason tier that assesses a reason given for selecting a first-tier response,…

Aktulun, Özgün Uyanik – Journal of Education and Training Studies, 2019
The objective of this study is to perform a validity and reliability examination of Number Sense Screener (NSS) by applying it to Turkish children aged 72-83 months. The universe of this general survey model study was constituted by 72-83-month old children showing normal development and studying at primary schools under the authority of the…

Elmonayer, Randa Abdelaleem – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
The present study examines the effect of visual scaffolding on promoting number sense skills (including number recognition, counting, ordinality, comparison, and calculation) of Egyptian autistic children mainstreamed in kindergartens. The participants were five autistic children, enrolled in the second level of kindergarten (ages 5-6).…

Hoon, Teoh Sian; Mohamed, Siti Syardia Erdina; Singh, Parmjit; Kee, Kor Liew – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2020
Purpose: Most literature has focused solely on either knowledge about number sense or understanding of fractions. To fill the research gap, this study examined pupils' abilities in both number sense and fractions. In particular, it investigated Year 4 and Year 5 pupils' use of strategies in developing their fraction sense. Methodology: This study…
