Interpreting Young Children's Multiplicative Strategies through Their Drawn Representations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Katherin Cartwright – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
The exploration of children's drawings as mathematical representations is a current focus in early years mathematics education research. This paper presents a qualitative analysis of 72 kindergarten to Grade 3 (5 to 8 years old) children's drawings produced during problem-solving tasks centred on multiplicative strategies. Existing frameworks for…

Tessa L. Arsenault; Sarah R. Powell – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2024
Students encounter mathematics word problems as early as kindergarten and continue to see them throughout their schooling experience. Schema instruction with an attack strategy can support students to successfully navigate word-problem solving. Schemas help students categorize word problems by similar characteristics. To better support students…

Van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, Marja; Elia, Iliada – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
In this study we investigated the structure of quantitative competence of kindergartners by testing a hypothesized four-factor model of quantitative competence consisting of the components counting, subitizing, additive reasoning and multiplicative reasoning. Data were collected from kindergartners in the Netherlands (n = 334) and in Cyprus (n =…

Mulligan, Joanne; Oslington, Gabrielle; English, Lyn – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
An Australian longitudinal study of 319 Kindergartners developed, implemented and evaluated an intervention, the Pattern and Structure Mathematics Awareness Program (PASMAP). It comprised of repetitions and growing patterns, structured counting and grouping, grids and shapes, partitioning, additive and multiplicative structures, measurement and…

Joung, Eunmi; Lin, Cheng-Yao; Kim, Young Rae – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2021
The purpose of this study is to explore preservice teachers' (PTs') ability to implement multiple strategies using standard algorithms and alternative strategies and to investigate their conceptual knowledge of decimal operations. There were 37 PTs who participated in this study, all of whom attended a mathematics course in the K-8 Teacher…

Coherent Motion Sensitivity Predicts Individual Differences in Subtraction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Boets, Bart; De Smedt, Bert; Ghesquiere, Pol – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Recent findings suggest deficits in coherent motion sensitivity, an index of visual dorsal stream functioning, in children with poor mathematical skills or dyscalculia, a specific learning disability in mathematics. We extended these data using a longitudinal design to unravel whether visual dorsal stream functioning is able to "predict"…
