Yuting Liu; Peng Peng; Xueye Yan – Grantee Submission, 2025
In this meta-analysis of 54 longitudinal studies with over 58,000 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, we examined the predictive nature of early numeracy measured at or before the first year of formal schooling in relation to later mathematics. Results showed that early numeracy significantly predicted mathematics measured after 6 months…

Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Baroody, Arthur J.; Joswick, Candace – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
Although basing instruction on a learning trajectory (LT) is often recommended, there is little direct evidence to support the premise of a "LT approach"--that to be maximally meaningful, engaging, and effective, instruction is best presented one LT level beyond a child's present level of thinking. The present report serves to address…
