The Give-N (give-a-number) task has become a popular assessment of children's number words and counting knowledge since Wynn's (1990, 1992) seminal work over 30 years ago. Using the Give-N task, numerous studies have shown that children learn the first few number words slowly, before they understand how counting represents number. This learning…

The issue of mathematical knowledge in teaching has been widely discussed over the years. In this study, we carried out a systematic review of the literature with the aim of understanding, quantitatively and qualitatively, the studies developed related to the mathematical knowledge necessary for the teaching of Mathematics, with a focus on Numbers…

These are the appendixes for the report, "What Grade 7 Foundational Knowledge and Skills Are Associated with Missouri Students' Algebra I Achievement in Grade 8?" To increase opportunities for students to take more advanced math courses in high school, many school districts enroll grade 8 students in Algebra I, a gateway course for…

We examined relations between symbolic and non-symbolic numerical magnitude representations, between whole number and fraction representations, and between these representations and overall mathematics achievement in fifth graders. Fraction and whole number symbolic and non-symbolic numerical magnitude understandings were measured using both…
