Osman Birgin; Elif Seval Peker – Psychology in the Schools, 2025
The aim of this study was to develop an instrument for assessing sixth-grade students' number sense skills in fractions and decimals. This study was conducted on 452 sixth graders (10-11 years old) from the western region of Turkey. The construct validity of the number sense test (NST) was examined via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and…

Barkai, Ruthi; Levenson, Esther S.; Tsamir, Pessia; Tirosh, Dina – Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
Taking into consideration that young children engage with mathematics outside of the preschool classroom, this study focuses on adults' awareness of numerical ideas raised by young children without and with adult involvement. Ninety adults in Israel, the majority of whom were parents or grandparents of children aged 3-6 years, participated in this…

Neveu, Maëlle; Schwartz, Cédric; Vossius, Line; Rousselle, Laurence – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Finger gnosia and fine motor skills (FMS) are assumed to play a key role in the development of arithmetic abilities, but their contribution to early numerical skills (i.e., enumeration skills and cardinality) has received little attention so far. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of finger gnosia and FMS to…

Melody L. Bragas – Journal on School Educational Technology, 2025
Many recently added studies concerning reforms on teaching Early Mathematics were taken into consideration by different countries all over the world. The rhetoric that has accompanied such reforms has often justified them in terms of the need to produce citizens who are better able to cope with the demands of the twenty-first century. As an area…

Ouyang, Xiangzi; Zhang, Xiao; Räsänen, Pekka; Koponen, Tuire; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – Child Development, 2023
Using cognitive diagnostic modeling (CDM), this study identified subtypes of mathematics learning disability (MLD) based on children's numerical skills and examined the language and spatial precursors of these subtypes. Participants were 99 MLD children and 420 low achievers identified from 1839 Finnish children (966 boys) who were followed from…

Vessonen, Terhi; Widlund, Anna; Hakkarainen, Airi; Aunio, Pirjo – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2023
The aim of this study was to validate a teacher rating scale (TRS-EN) for assessing early numeracy skills and for identifying mathematically low-performing 3- and 4-year-old children. Fifty-six preschool teachers assessed children's (3-year-olds = 127; 4-year-olds = 145) numerical relational, counting, and basic arithmetic skills. Construct…

Hanna Lindström-Sandahl; Joakim Samuelsson; Henrik Danielsson; Stefan Samuelsson; Åsa Elwér – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Early numeracy interventions including basic arithmetic are crucial for young students at risk for early mathematics difficulties (MDs), yet few studies have evaluated numeracy interventions in second grade with a randomized controlled design. Aim: This pre- and post-test randomized controlled study evaluated the effects of an…

Kejun Zheng; Baolige Chao; Xiaoran Xue; Li Zhang – Early Child Development and Care, 2024
To examine the relationship between early number sense and later symbolic arithmetic competence and how they are connected in young Chinese children. The present study utilized a longitudinal sample of 115 Chinese children aged 3 to 6. Young children completed measures to assess number sense, visual spatial skills (in the fall of their second…

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.…

David Muñez; Josetxu Orrantia; Rosario Sanchez; Verónica Carreton; Laura Matilla – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
This study investigates how the approximate number system (ANS) and young children's symbolic skills jointly develop and interact. Specifically, the study aims at disentangling the directionality of the association between ANS acuity and a wide range of symbolic skills that reflect 4- to 5-year-olds' symbolic quantitative knowledge (enumeration…

Lopez-Pedersen, Anita; Mononen, Riikka; Aunio, Pirjo; Scherer, Ronny; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Remedial and Special Education, 2023
Children with low performance in early numeracy are at risk of facing learning difficulties in mathematics, but few trials have examined how this can be ameliorated. A total of 120 first-grade children (M[subscript age] = 6.4 years) were randomly assigned to an intervention or a control condition. The 14-week intervention targeted early numeracy…

Traverso, Laura; Tonizzi, Irene; Usai, M. Carmen; Viterbori, Paola – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Children's arithmetic performance is dependent on the arithmetic task format, but little is known about how domain-specific and domain-general abilities contribute to solving diverse arithmetic problems. In this study, 145 Italian typically developing children between the ages of five and six, who have not yet received formal schooling, were…

Opfer, John E.; Kim, Dan; Fazio, Lisa K.; Zhou, Xinlin; Siegler, Robert S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Chinese children routinely outperform American peers in standardized tests of mathematics knowledge. To examine mediators of this effect, 95 Chinese and US 5-year-olds completed a test of overall symbolic arithmetic, an IQ subtest, and three tests each of symbolic and non-symbolic numerical magnitude knowledge (magnitude comparison, approximate…

Mei Ma; Maxim Likhanov; Xinlin Zhou – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research suggested fluent processing as an explanation on why number sense contributes to simple arithmetic tasks--'Fluency hypothesis'. Aims: The current study investigates whether number sense contributes to such arithmetic tasks when other cognitive factors are controlled for (including those that mediate the link); and…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina; Maloney, Erin A.; Wylie, Judith; Simms, Victoria; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Osana, Helena P. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Children's knowledge of the ordinal relations among number symbols is related to their mathematical learning. Ordinal knowledge has been measured using judgment (i.e., decide whether a sequence of three digits is in order) and ordering tasks (i.e., order three digits from smallest to largest). However, the question remains whether performance on…
