Li, Li; Zhou, Xin; Gao, Xuliang; Tu, Dongbo – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
In this study we investigated the development of 245 kindergarteners' mathematics problem solving (MPS) at two time points within 7 months using a cognitive diagnostic test, which measured three cognitive components (mathematical knowledge and skills, semantic understanding, and quantitative reasoning) with eleven cognitive attributes. The effects…

Björn, Piia M.; Äikäs, Aino; Hakkarainen, Airi; Kyttälä, Minna; Fuchs, Lynn S. – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2019
Background: The previous body of research literature has reported several separate cognitive processes relevant in solving mathematics wps. Therefore, it is of the essence to seek for effective intervention and instruction for students in need for support in learning. Aim: This article reports the outcome of an intervention targeted at mathematics…

Niehues, Wenke; Kisbu-Sakarya, Yasemin; Selcuk, Bilge – Early Education and Development, 2021
Research Findings: Children differ in their ability to adapt to elementary school. Yet, the family factors that foster a successful transition to elementary school are less well understood. Family cohesion as an indicator of a positive emotional climate within families may play an important role for children's ability to adapt to school. Thus,…

Empson, Susan B. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2014
Decision making during instruction that is responsive to children's mathematical thinking is examined reflexively by the researcher in the context of teaching second graders. Focus is on exploring how the research base on learning informs teaching decisions that are oriented to building on children's sound conceptions. The development of four…

Bobis, Janette – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2007
Drawing upon research, theory, classroom and personal experiences, this paper focuses on the development of primary-aged children's computational fluency. It emphasises the critical links between number sense and a child's ability to perform mental and written computation. The case of multi-digit multiplication is used to illustrate these…

Jung, Myoungwhon; Kloosterman, Peter; McMullen, Mary – Young Children, 2007
This article looks at how children in preschool through second grade intuitively solve mathematical problems rather than using textbook strategies with a single path to a solution. The authors discuss Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), a curriculum approach that helps teachers understand and encourage children's use of intuitive strategies.…
