Ferrara, Francesca; Ferrari, Giulia – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2023
In this article, we draw on assemblage theory to investigate how children aged 5 engage with different material surfaces to explore ordinal and relational aspects of number. The children participate in an activity in which they first interact with a strip on the floor, then with a multi-touch iPad application, to work with numbers in expressive…

Litster, Kristy; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S.; Reeder, Rachel – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2019
The purpose of the inquiry was to understand how children in primary grades (i.e., preschool, kindergarten, and second grade) engaged with affordances and constraints of features in a Base-10 Blocks virtual manipulative mathematics app designed to promote learning opportunities. Researchers conducted one-to-one interviews with 100 primary grade…

Bassette, Laura; Bouck, Emily; Shurr, Jordan; Park, Jiyoon; Cremeans, McKenzie – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Elementary students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who struggle with mathematics may be limited in opportunities to pursue advanced mathematics potentially impacting post-school outcomes, including postsecondary education and employment opportunities. Interventions that provide visual instruction, such as manipulatives, along with systematic…

Tucker, Stephen I.; Johnson, Teri Nicole – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Interactions with technology have become a focus of education research, revealing specific constructs relevant to these interactions. Attributes of users and tools contribute to physically embodied interactions with technology and both users and tools modify attributes throughout these interactions. This study examines patterns of user-tool…

Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S.; Shumway, Jessica F.; Bullock, Emma P.; Anderson-Pence, Katie L.; Tucker, Stephen I.; Westenskow, Arla; Boyer-Thurgood, Jennifer; Gulkilik, Hilal; Watts, Christina; Jordan, Kerry – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
The purpose of this project was to examine young children's mathematics learning using virtual manipulative touch-screen apps. We interviewed over 100 young children as they interacted with mathematics apps on iPads and examined how these interactions supported mathematics learning and contributed to changes in efficiency. Children interacted with…
