Knox, Joanne; Kontorovich, Igor' – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
This paper stems from calls for methodological advancement in two areas of research: primary mathematics education and dialogical education. We respond to these calls from the commognitive standpoint by introducing the "Grove of Realizations" as a tool for capturing and visualizing individual students' learning through collaborative work…

Doabler, Christian; Cary, Mari Strand; Clarke, Benjamin; Fien, Hank; Baker, Scott; Jungjohann, Kathy – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Given the vital importance of using a scientific approach for curriculum development, the authors employed a design experiment methodology (Brown, 1992; Shavelson et al., 2003) to develop and evaluate, FUSION, a first grade mathematics intervention intended for students with or at-risk for mathematics disabilities. FUSION, funded through IES…

Coleman, Patricia; And Others – 1973
A fourth grade class (49 students) with a mean grade equivalent score of 2.8 on the Stanford Diagnostic Arithmetic Test was placed in a Sequential Computational Skills Math Program. The program consisted of 12 units (from basic addition and subtraction facts to fractions computation), and individual Ss' entry levels were determined by computation…

Wheatley, Grayson H., Jr. – 1967
Investigated were concepts of conservation (number and length), cardination, one-to-one correspondence, and counting ability, and the role of these concepts in learning first-grade mathematics. A Piagetian-type number concept test was developed and administered at the end of the school year to a sample of 38 entering first-grade students selected…

Souviney, Randall J. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1980
Attainment relative to six cognitive operations and four number and computational skills was assessed for 90 elementary students using clinical procedures. Variance associated with conservation of number, seriation, and logical classification competency accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in achievement scores. (Author/MK)

Bennett, Peggy; Rule, Audrey C. – TEACHING Exceptional Children Plus, 2005
This article explains how to teach long division using hands-on materials (skittles, base ten blocks, colored counters, numeral cards) and investigates reviewing division word problems with middle school students (N=27) with learning disabilities in mathematics by this approach compared to spending the same amount of time on the typical practices…
