Emily R. Fyfe; Giulia A. Borriello – Child Development Perspectives, 2025
Researchers agree that both domain-general skills and domain-specific skills contribute to mathematics knowledge, but questions arise as to which skills can and should be trained to improve children's learning outcomes. In this article, we synthesize research on training three domain-general constructs in early childhood (patterning skills,…

Kevin Larkin; Ilyse Resnick; Thomas Lowrie – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Patterns are a fundamental component of mathematics, and the patterning ability of young children has been well researched; however, this research has largely been conducted with relatively small cohorts (±70) and in an interventionist way (in laboratory settings or with researchers directly intervening in educational contexts). The current study…

Lukas Baumanns; Demetra Pitta-Pantazi; Eleni Demosthenous; Achim J. Lilienthal; Constantinos Christou; Maike Schindler – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Recognizing patterns is an essential skill in early mathematics education. However, first graders often have difficulties with tasks such as extending patterns of the form ABCABC. Studies show that this pattern-recognition ability is a good predictor of later pre-algebraic skills and mathematical achievement in general, or the development of…

Larry Musolino – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2024
A new course development is intended for students to investigate the intersection of mathematics with seemingly disparate areas of art, music, architecture, and nature. The course is designed to allow students to explore the hidden connections between the aesthetic pleasures of art, music and nature and that of mathematical foundations and how the…

Aleksandra Acker; Berenice Nyland; Olivera Dokic – Australian Journal of Music Education, 2024
This paper examines the relationship between early childhood music and maths. The emphasis is on children as intuitive pattern makers as they explore, categorise and imagine their worlds. We argue for the careful listening of childhood languages and reason that music and maths are expressive languages that young children use to investigate and…

Allison R. Krasnow – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This mixed methods study explores high school seniors' math course-taking decisions and what changes school leaders can take to increase the percentages of students taking four years of math in high school. Through an analysis of district-level administrative data and a survey completed by seniors at a high performing, diverse high school in…
