Hinton, Vanessa; Flores, Margaret – Rural Special Education Quarterly, 2022
Mathematics is crucial to the educational and vocational success of students. The concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) approach is a method to teach students mathematical concepts. The CRA involves instruction with manipulatives, representations, and numbers only in different lessons (i.e., concrete lessons include manipulatives but not…

Bundock, Kaitlin; Shumway, Jessica F.; Burnside, Monika; King, Jessica – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2023
A critical challenge for elementary mathematics teachers is meeting the learning needs of all students, especially when there is variability in students' number knowledge. Because young students' number system knowledge (NSK) contributes to future success in mathematics, NSK activities must be designed to engage all students, particularly students…

Alexandria A. Viegut; Percival G. Matthews – Grantee Submission, 2023
Understanding fraction magnitudes is foundational for later math achievement. To represent a fraction "x/y," children are often taught to use "partitioning": break the whole into "y" parts, and shade in "x" parts. Past research has shown that partitioning on number lines supports children's fraction…

Understanding fraction magnitudes is foundational for later math achievement. To represent a fraction x/y, children are often taught to use "partitioning": Break the whole into y parts and shade in x parts. Past research has shown that partitioning on number lines supports children's fraction magnitude knowledge more than partitioning on…

Viseu, Floriano; Pires, Ana Luísa; Menezes, Luís; Costa, Ana Maria – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
The use of different registers to represent mathematical concepts enhances understanding. For example, rational numbers can assume pictorial, symbolic and natural language representations and this kind of change improves learning. Based on these assumptions, a teaching experiment for the learning of rational numbers by 2nd grade students was…

Sari, Mehmet Hayri; Herzog, Moritz; Olkun, Sinan; Fritz, Annemarie – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
Research has shown that a profound place value understanding is crucial for success in learning mathematics. At the same time, a substantial number of students struggles with developing a sustainable place value understanding. In this regard, two aspects of the place value system appear especially relevant: First, the knowledge of the decimal…

Koç, Selma – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2019
The inquiry-oriented and cyclic process of action research can lead to the innovative use of technology and instructional strategies to improve teaching practice, particularly for beginning teachers. This action research project examined the impact of the number line and Educreations on second-grade students' verbal and written explanations of…

Bofferding, Laura; Aqazade, Mahtob; Farmer, Sherri – Research in Mathematics Education, 2018
How children play around with new numerical concepts can provide important information about the structure and patterns they notice in number systems. In this chapter, we report on data from 243 second graders who were asked to fill in missing numbers on a number path (encouraging them to play around with numbers less than zero) and to solve…

Bofferding, Laura; Farmer, Sherri – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
The language that students use with whole numbers can be insufficient when learning integers. This is often the case when children interpret addition as "getting more" or "going higher." In this study, we explore whether instruction on mapping directed magnitudes to operations helps 88 second graders and 70 fourth graders solve…

Shumway, Jessica F.; Bundock, Kaitlin; King, Jessica; Burnside, Monika; Gardner, Heather; Messervy, Felicia – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2020
Number system knowledge (NSK) is broadly defined as the understanding of number relationships and is an essential mathematics skill for young elementary school-aged students. NSK instruction that emphasizes connections between number sense and spatial reasoning could be a critical anchor for second-grade students to stay rooted in their conceptual…

Aqazade, Mahtob; Bofferding, Laura; Farmer, Sherri – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
We investigate thirty-three second and fifth-grade students' solution strategies on integer addition problems before and after analyzing contrasting cases with integer addition and participating in a lesson on integers. The students took a pretest, participated in two small group sessions and a short lesson, and took a posttest. Even though the…

Land, Tonia J.; Drake, Corey – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2014
In this study, we examined how curricular resources supported three expert teachers in their enactment of progressions. Using a video-stimulated interview process, we documented the multiple types of progressions identified, described, and enacted by the teachers. Results indicate that the teachers used four different types of…

Champagne, Zachary M.; Schoen, Robert; Riddell, Claire M. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2014
Early elementary school students are expected to solve twelve distinct types of word problems. A math researcher and two teachers pose a structure for thinking about one problem type that has not been studied as closely as the other eleven. In this article, the authors share some of their discoveries with regard to the variety of…

Assiti, Saliza Safta; Zulkardi; Darmawijoyo – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2013
The intention of the present study is to know how the pupils can learn to make a group of ten to understand the idea of unitizing. The pupils were given a contextual problem "Counting the Beads" in order to promote their understanding about the idea of unitizing. The process of designing the problem was based on the 5 tenets of…

Prather, Richard; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2011
The current study investigated how young learners' experiences with arithmetic equations can lead to learning of an arithmetic principle. The focus was elementary school children's acquisition of the Relation to Operands principle for subtraction (i.e., for natural numbers, the difference must be less than the minuend). In Experiment 1, children…
