Eriksson, Inger; Tabachnikova, Natalia – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
The overarching aim of this article is to exemplify and analyse how some algebraic aspects of equations can be theoretically explored and reflected upon by young students in collaboration with their teacher. The article is based upon an empirical example from a case study in a grade 1 in a primary school. The chosen lesson is framed by the…

Eriksson, Inger; Jansson, Anders – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2017
The issue of this article is to identify and discuss what conditions may be necessary to build into tasks to make it likely for students to be involved in an algebraic Learning Activity inspired by Davydov. Data from a pilot study was used in which a group of students (N = 28) in grade 1 (7-year-olds) were invited to participate in discussions and…

Pittalis, Marios; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra; Christou, Constantinos – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The present study revalidated a measurement model describing the nature of early number sense. Number sense was shown to be composed of elementary number sense, conventional arithmetic and algebraic arithmetic. Algebraic arithmetic was conceptualized as synthesis of number patterns, restrictions and functions. Two hundred and four 1st grade…

Casey, Beth M.; Lombardi, Caitlin McPherran; Pollock, Amanda; Fineman, Bonnie; Pezaris, Elizabeth – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
This study investigated longitudinal pathways leading from early spatial skills in first-grade girls to their fifth-grade analytical math reasoning abilities (N = 138). First-grade assessments included spatial skills, verbal skills, addition/subtraction skills, and frequency of choice of a decomposition or retrieval strategy on the…

Vukovic, Rose K.; Lesaux, Nonie K. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2013
This longitudinal study examined how language ability relates to mathematical development in a linguistically and ethnically diverse sample of children from 6 to 9 years of age. Study participants were 75 native English speakers and 92 language minority learners followed from first to fourth grades. Autoregression in a structural equation modeling…

Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2011
For over a decade, research studies of mathematics education in high-performing countries have pointed to the conclusion that the mathematics curriculum in the United States must become substantially more focused and coherent in order to improve mathematics achievement in this country. To deliver on the promise of common standards, the standards…

Warren, Elizabeth – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2009
The implementation of a new mathematics syllabus in the elementary context is problematic, especially if it contains a new content area. A professional development model, Transformative Teaching in the Early Years Mathematics (TTEYM) was specifically developed to support the implementation of the new Patterns and Algebra strand. The model was…
