Van Herwegen, Jo; Costa, Hiwet Mariam; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara – School Psychology Quarterly, 2017
Previous studies in both typically and atypically developing children have shown that approximate number system (ANS) abilities predict formal mathematical knowledge later on in life. The current study investigated whether playing specially designed training games that targets the ANS system using nonsymbolic stimuli only would improve preschool…

Wang, Aubrey H.; Firmender, Janine M.; Power, Joshua R.; Byrnes, James P. – Early Education and Development, 2016
Research Findings: The early childhood years are critical in developing early mathematics skills, but the opportunities one has to learn mathematics tend to be limited, preventing the development of significant mathematics learning. By conducting a meta-analysis of 29 experimental and quasi-experimental studies that have been published since 2000,…
