Ramani, Geetha B.; Siegler, Robert S.; Hitti, Aline – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
We examined whether a theoretically based number board game could be translated into a practical classroom activity that improves Head Start children's numerical knowledge. Playing the number board game as a small group learning activity promoted low-income children's number line estimation, magnitude comparison, numeral identification, and…
