Li, Juan; Ma, Fengzhan; Wang, Yannan; Lan, Ruoxi; Zhang, Yanrong; Dai, Xiaotong – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
In this study, a situation-based interactive e-book system was developed for improving children's learning performance of numerical operations. To evaluate the effectiveness of the system, an experiment was conducted in one kindergarten. The results showed that the proposed approach significantly improved the children's learning achievements.…

Riyanto – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2019
Mathematics and Indonesian Language are subjects that are considered difficult by students in Indonesia. In addition, students are also considered less creative. One way to solve this problem is to apply the game in learning. For this reason, a game that can solve the problem needs to be designed. The game that is hypothesized to improve math,…

Brunner, Esther; Reusser, Kurt – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
In our study, 32 German and Swiss 8th/9th-grade classes of lower-secondary school worked with their teacher on the same proving problem. The sample belongs to the Swiss-German study "Quality of Instruction, Learning Behavior and Mathematical Understanding". Our data analyses relate to the teachers' approaches to generating a specific…

Pollack, Courtney; Leon Guerrero, Sibylla; Star, Jon R. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
Higher-level mathematics requires a connection between literal symbols (e.g., "x") and their mental representations. The current study probes the nature of mental representations for literal symbols using both the priming distance effect, in which ease of comparing a target number to a fixed standard is a function of prime-target…

Schulz, Andreas; Leuders, Timo; Rangel, Ulrike – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
We provide evidence of validity for a newly developed diagnostic competence model of operation sense, by both (a) describing the theoretically substantiated development of the competence model in close association with its use within a large-scale formative assessment and (b) providing empirical evidence for the theoretically described cognitive…

Lyons, Ian M.; Ansari, Daniel – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2015
Recent work has demonstrated that how we process the relative order--ordinality--of numbers may be key to understanding how we represent numbers symbolically, and has proven to be a robust predictor of more sophisticated math skills in both children and adults. However, it remains unclear whether numerical ordinality is primarily a by-product of…

Cramer, Kathleen; Ahrendt, Sue; Monson, Debra; Wyberg, Terry; Miller, Christine – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2017
Researchers collaborated with a team of third-grade teachers in an urban district in the Upper Midwest to examine misunderstandings among students when using the number line as a model for fractions. Researchers looked closely at how the number line can be used as a model to build meaning for fractions for third-grade students. This article…

Thompson, Clarissa A.; Morris, Bradley J.; Sidney, Pooja G. – Grantee Submission, 2017
Do children spontaneously represent spatial-numeric features of a task, even when it does not include printed numbers (Mix et al., 2016)? Sixty first grade students completed a novel spatial estimation task by seeking and finding pages in a 100-page book without printed page numbers. Children were shown pages 1 through 6 and 100, and then were…

Zippert, Erica L.; Daubert, Emily N.; Scalise, Nicole R.; Noreen, Gabriella D.; Ramani, Geetha B. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
The prevalence of tablet computer use among young children has risen dramatically, as have educational apps claiming to promote school readiness skills such as mathematical knowledge. Parents can contribute to their preschoolers' math readiness through the math talk they provide during everyday interactions in traditional nonelectronic activities.…

Sidney, Pooja G.; Thompson, Clarissa A.; Fitzsimmons, Charles; Taber, Jennifer M. – Grantee Submission, 2019
People's attitudes toward mathematics are multifaceted. Across four studies, we found that children and adults have different attitudes about mathematics when asked specifically about whole numbers, as opposed to fractions. The vast majority of children and adults reported negative attitudes toward fractions despite having positive attitudes…

Garron, Zella Ruth – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The problem addressed in this study was students who have not been able to demonstrate proficiency in performing mathematical computation, algebraic and geometrical reasoning, number sense proficiency and mathematical processing while in grades 3 through 8 are not prepared to successfully complete the high school high stakes Algebra 1 ECA…

Bütüner, Suphi Önder – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
The aim of this study is to compare students' use of number sense strategies based on their mathematics success levels. Participants were 129 seventh graders from three elite secondary schools in Trabzon. Data were collected through a written examination with 10 problems and semi-structured interviews. Interview data were analyzed by considering…

Patson, Nikole D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
There is increasing evidence that the plural is semantically unmarked for number such that a plural can be interpreted as meaning "at least one." The 2 experiments reported here used a picture matching paradigm to investigate the conceptual representations built during the comprehension of sentences with plural definite descriptions…

Disney, Leigh; Barnes, Alan; Ey, Lesley; Geng, Gretchen – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2019
Advances in technology have seen a proliferation of touch-screen interfaces available to young children. These screens have changed the way in which young children engage with digital technology; with increased exposure and use, it raises debates about the suitability of integrating digital technology within early childhood settings. There are…

Hyde, Daniel C.; Simon, Charline E.; Berteletti, Ilaria; Mou, Yi – Developmental Science, 2017
Two non-verbal cognitive systems, an approximate number system (ANS) for extracting the numerosity of a set and a parallel individuation (PI) system for distinguishing between individual items, are hypothesized to be foundational to symbolic number and mathematics abilities. However, the exact role of each remains unclear and highly debated. Here…
