Marios Pittalis – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2025
A theoretical model describing Grade 7 students' rational number sense was formulated and validated empirically (n = 360), hypothesizing that rational number sense is a general construct consisting of three factors: basic rational number sense, arithmetic sense, and flexibility with rational numbers. Data analysis suggested that rational-number…

Kirkland, Patrick K.; Guang, Claire; Cheng, Ying; Trinter, Christine; Kumar, Saachi; Nakfoor, Sofia; Sullivan, Tiana; McNeil, Nicole M. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Students exhibiting mature number sense make sense of numbers and operations, use reasoning to notice patterns, and flexibly select the most effective and efficient problem-solving strategies (McIntosh et al., 1997; Reys et al., 1999; Yang, 2005). Despite being highlighted in national standards and policy documents (CCSS, 2010; NCTM, 2000, 2014),…

Deslis, Dimitrios; Desli, Despoina – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
This study investigates students' and adults' performance in judging reasonableness of computational results, namely reflecting on whether these results qualify as acceptable answers to mathematical tasks. Data was gathered via task-based questionnaires from 160 participants, evenly divided between fifth-graders and adults. Their responses to a…

David Muñez; Josetxu Orrantia; Rosario Sanchez; Lieven Verschaffel; Laura Matilla – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2025
Previous research has demonstrated a link between children's ability to name canonical finger configurations and their mathematical abilities. This study aimed to investigate the nature of this association, specifically exploring whether the relationship is skill and handshape specific and identifying the underlying mechanisms involved.…

Cui, Zhihao; Ng, Oi-lam; Jong, Morris Siu-Yung – Educational Technology & Society, 2023
Grounded in problem-based learning and with respect to four mathematics domains (arithmetic, random events and counting, number theory, and geometry), we designed a series of programming-based learning tasks for middle school students to co-develop computational thinking (CT) and corresponding mathematical thinking. Various CT concepts and…

Ng, Oi-Lam; Leung, Allen; Ye, Huiyan – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Programming is an interdisciplinary practice with applications in both mathematics and computer science. Mathematics concerns rigor, abstraction, and generalization. Computer science predominantly concerns efficiency, concreteness, and physicality. This makes programming a medium for problem solving that mediates between mathematics and computer…

Jeffrey Kramer Bye; Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Avery H. Closser; Ji-Eun Lee; Stacy T. Shaw; Erin R. Ottmar – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Students often perform arithmetic using rigid problem-solving strategies that involve left-to-right-calculations. However, as students progress from arithmetic to algebra, entrenchment in rigid problem-solving strategies can negatively impact performance as students experience varied problem representations that sometimes conflict with the order…

Brave, Kathryn Lavin; Miller, Jillian – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
During the past few years, the social interactions of students have been limited. The act of social distancing has not only exacerbated developmental gaps in social and emotional learning (SEL) (Vaillancourt et al. 2021) but also interrupted mathematics instruction (Lewis et al. 2021). Teachers are searching for strategies that promote…

Kelly-Ann Gesuelli; Nancy C. Jordan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Fraction arithmetic facility is fundamental to learning more advanced math topics. However, attaining the ability to add and subtract fractions is hard for many students. The present longitudinal study examined students' growth on simple addition and subtraction word problems between fourth and sixth grades (N = 536). Latent class growth analyses…

Ngo, Vy; Perez Lacera, Luisa; Closser, Avery Harrison; Ottmar, Erin – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
For students to advance beyond arithmetic, they must learn how to attend to the structure of math notation. This process can be challenging due to students' left-to-right computing tendencies. Brackets are used in mathematics to indicate precedence but can also be used as superfluous cues and perceptual grouping mechanisms in instructional…

Psyridou, Maria; Torppa, Minna; Tolvanen, Asko; Poikkeus, Anna-Maija; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina; Koponen, Tuire – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The aim of the present study was to examine the kinds of developmental profiles of arithmetic fluency skills that can be identified across Grades 1-9 (ages 7-16) in a large Finnish sample (n = 2,518). The study also examined whether membership in the developmental profiles could be predicted using a comprehensive set of kindergarten-age factors,…

Braithwaite, David W.; Sprague, Lauren; Siegler, Robert S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
To explain children's difficulties learning fraction arithmetic, Braithwaite et al. (2017) proposed FARRA, a theory of fraction arithmetic implemented as a computational model. The present study tested predictions of the theory in a new domain, decimal arithmetic, and investigated children's use of conceptual knowledge in that domain. Sixth and…

Copur-Gencturk, Yasemin – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This article explores three attributes of teachers' understanding of fraction magnitude: the accuracy and reasonableness of teachers' estimations in response to fraction arithmetic tasks as well as the alignment of the estimation strategies they used with the concept of fraction magnitude. The data were collected from a national sample of…

Stella Eteng-Uket – Numeracy, 2023
This paper describes a study that focused on developing, validating and standardizing a dyscalculia test, henceforth called the Dyscalculia Test. Out of the 4,758,800 students in Nigeria's upper primary and junior secondary schools, I randomly drew a sample of 2340 students, using a multistage sampling procedure that applied various sampling…

Desoete, Annemie; Baten, Elke – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2022
Several factors seem important to understand the nature of mathematical learning. Byrnes and Miller combined these factors into the Opportunity-Propensity model. In this study the model was used to predict the number-processing factor and the arithmetic fluency in grade 4 (n = 195) and grade 5 (n = 213). Gender, intelligence and affect (positive…
