Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Smith, Michele; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Grantee Submission, 2020
The current study broadens our understanding of preschoolers' early math experiences with parents, recognizing that math knowledge and experiences are inclusive of numeracy as well as non-numeracy domains. Parents and preschoolers (N = 45) were observed exploring three domains of early mathematics knowledge (i.e., number, space, and pattern)…

Loehr, Abbey M.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
Research has demonstrated that providing labels helps children notice key features of examples. Much less is known about how different labels impact children's ability to make inferences about the structure underlying mathematical notation. We tested the impact of labeling decimals such as 0.34 using formal place-value labels ("3 tenths and 4…

Gresalfi, Melissa Sommerfeld; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; Loehr, Abbey; Nichols, Isaac – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
The goal of the current study was to contribute to our emergent understanding of whether and how particular types of digital games can support student learning and engagement. We focused on commercially available educational apps that focused on similar content (fraction comparison and equivalence) but represented extremes in how game-like they…

Zippert, Erica L.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Grantee Submission, 2018
The goal of the current study is to develop a more complete understanding of the early "home math environment," encompassing both numeracy and non-numeracy aspects of that environment. Parents of preschoolers (n = 63) were surveyed about their support of three components of early mathematics knowledge (i.e., numeracy, spatial, and…

Fyfe, Emily R.; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany; DeCaro, Marci S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
Providing exploratory activities prior to explicit instruction can facilitate learning. However, the level of guidance provided during the exploration has largely gone unstudied. In this study, we examined the effects of 1 form of guidance, feedback, during exploratory mathematics problem solving for children with varying levels of prior domain…
