Koponen, Tuire; Eklund, Kenneth; Heikkilä, Riikka; Salminen, Jonna; Fuchs, Lynn; Fuchs, Douglas; Aro, Mikko – Child Development, 2020
This study examines the core predictors of the covariance in reading and arithmetic fluency and the domain-general cognitive skills that explain the core predictors and covariance. Seven-year-old Finnish children (N = 200) were assessed on rapid automatized naming (RAN), phonological awareness, letter knowledge, verbal counting, number writing,…

Dhlamini, Zwelithini Bongani – South African Journal of Education, 2021
In the study reported on here I evaluated the alignment between the Annual National Assessment (ANA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Theoretical perspectives were drawn from the Survey Enacted Curriculum (SEC), while quantitative correlational methods were used to determine the alignment between ANA and TIMSS…

Feldman, Ziv; Roscoe, Matt B. – Mathematics Teacher Educator, 2018
The literature has shown that preservice elementary school teachers (PSTs) struggle to adequately attend to a number's multiplicative structure to determine divisibility. This study describes an intervention aimed at strengthening preservice and in-service teachers' procedural knowledge with respect to using a number's prime factorization to…

Casey, Beth M.; Lombardi, Caitlin M.; Thomson, Dana; Nguyen, Hoa Nha; Paz, Melissa; Theriault, Cote A.; Dearing, Eric – Child Development, 2018
The primary goal in this study was to examine maternal support of numerical concepts at 36 months as predictors of math achievement at 4.5 and 6-7 years. Observational measures of mother-child interactions (n = 140) were used to examine type of support for numerical concepts. Maternal support that involved labeling the quantities of sets of…

Moffett, Pamela; Eaton, Patricia – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2018
It is widely acknowledged that the transition from informal, everyday knowledge to formal, school-taught knowledge is a critically important stage in children's mathematical development. Research highlights the importance of making connections between the different representations of mathematics and the value of children's own mathematical…

Schneider, Michael; Merz, Simon; Stricker, Johannes; De Smedt, Bert; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven; Luwel, Koen – Child Development, 2018
The number line estimation task is widely used to investigate mathematical learning and development. The present meta-analysis statistically synthesized the extensive evidence on the correlation between number line estimation and broader mathematical competence. Averaged over 263 effect sizes with 10,576 participants with sample mean ages from 4…

Utami, Anita Dewi; Sa'dijah, Cholis; Subanji; Irawati, Santi – International Journal of Instruction, 2018
A pivotal information about the structure of students' comprehension underlying from which the knowledge is gained can be identified through the mental model. This study aimed at describing the six levels of students' mental model in comprehending the concept of the integer. The subject of this research was 40 students consisting of 20 students…

Meyer, Caitlin; Barbiers, Sjef; Weerman, Fred – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2018
This study argues that the pattern and timing of ordinal acquisition differs substantially from that of cardinals and is influenced by different language-specific factors, such as (ir)regular ordinal morphology, superlative morphology, and the singular-plural distinction. We discuss data from a Give X task (Wynn 1992) administered to 77 Dutch…

Resnick, Ilyse; Rinne, Luke; Barbieri, Christina; Jordan, Nancy C. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Reasoning about numerical magnitudes is a key aspect of mathematics learning. Most research examining the relation of magnitude understanding to general mathematics achievement has focused on whole number and fraction magnitudes. The present longitudinal study (N=435) used a 3-step latent class analysis to examine reasoning about magnitudes on a…

Garcia, Stephan Ramon – PRIMUS, 2017
A second course in linear algebra that goes beyond the traditional lower-level curriculum is increasingly important for students of the mathematical sciences. Although many applications involve only real numbers, a solid understanding of complex arithmetic often sheds significant light. Many instructors are unaware of the opportunities afforded by…

Gersten, Russell; Schumacher, Robin F.; Jordan, Nancy C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Magnitude understanding is critical for students to develop a deep understanding of fractions and more advanced mathematics curriculum. The research reports in this special issue underscore magnitude understanding for fractions and emphasize number lines as both an assessment and an instructional tool. In this commentary, we discuss how number…

Kersey, Alyssa J.; Cantlon, Jessica F. – Language Learning and Development, 2017
Counting is an evolutionarily recent cultural invention of the human species. In order for humans to have conceived of counting in the first place, certain representational and logical abilities must have already been in place. The focus of this article is the origins and nature of those fundamental mechanisms that promoted the emergence of the…

Spelke, Elizabeth S. – Language Learning and Development, 2017
The natural numbers may be our simplest, most useful, and best-studied abstract concepts, but their origins are debated. I consider this debate in the context of the proposal, by Gallistel and Gelman, that natural number system is a product of cognitive evolution and the proposal, by Carey, that it is a product of human cultural history. I offer a…

Pampel, Krysten – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The advancement of technology has substantively changed the practices of numerous professions, including teaching. When an instructor first adopts a new technology, established classroom practices are perturbed. These perturbations can have positive and negative, large or small, and long- or short-term effects on instructors' abilities to teach…
