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…

Zehra E. Ünal; Asli M. Ala; Gamze Kartal; Serkan Özel; David C. Geary – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Sixty (35 girls and 25 boys) 9th-grade students' conceptual understanding of the number line was qualitatively assessed through verbal explanations and visual representations. The assessment included an open-ended question focused on students' number line descriptions and the explanations coalesced around six features: sequential ordering (i.e.,…

Camilla Björklund; Hanna Palmér – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
The aim of this study is to deepen the understanding of how preschool teachers can use representations of different kinds to bring fore the mathematical content that may be afforded in pictures and narrative designed for numerical learning purposes. Seventy-three video documentations of reading sessions with 27 toddlers (1-3 years of age) over the…

Branyan, Helen; Cooper, Elisheva; Shaki, Samuel; McCrink, Koleen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
During the preschool years, children are simultaneously undergoing a reshaping of their mental number line and becoming increasingly sensitive to the social norms expressed by those around them. In the current study, 4- and 5-year-old American and Israeli children were given a task in which an experimenter laid out chips with numbers (1-5),…

Nicky Roberts; Kimberley Porteus – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
Teacher quality in primary schools in South Africa is a serious concern, and how best to prepare teachers in initial teacher education--with regard to mathematics--remains an open and vexing question. There is a confluence of challenges facing the mathematics education community in South Africa: poor conceptual understanding of mathematics amongst…

Sophie Batchelor; Camilla Gilmore; Jayne Spiller; Matthew Inglis – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Research has identified that children differ in the extent to which they spontaneously focus on numerical aspects of the environment (Spontaneous Focusing on Numerosity, SFON) and that this correlates with their mathematics achievement. It is assumed that the mechanism underpinning this relationship is that children who spontaneously focus on…

Alexandre Cavalcante; Annie Savard; Elena Polotskaia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This article proposes an in-depth mathematics analysis of simple and compound interest through an exploration of the mathematical structures underlying these concepts. Financial numeracy concepts (simple and compound interest, interest rates, interest period, present and future value, etc.) have been added to the mathematics curriculum of the…

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.…

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…

Roxanne Long; Mellony Graven – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This paper explores Grade R teacher expressions of themselves as teachers of numeracy, and as teachers working in the transition phase of schooling, after their participation in a research-informed numeracy-focused professional development (PD) intervention. The Early Number Fun (ENF) programme had 33 teachers from 17 Eastern Cape schools…

Kesicioglu, Oguz Serdar – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2021
The research aims at examining the counting skills of children in the preschool period. For this purpose, this study has been planned according to the "survey model". The study group of the research is comprised of 108 children with ages between 60th-72nd months, who attend kindergartens. The "Counting Skills Test" has been…

Rathé, Sanne; Torbeyns, Joke; Smedt, Bert De; Verschaffel, Lieven – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Children's spontaneous focusing on Arabic number symbols (SFONS) has been identified as a relevant component of their early mathematical development. This study investigated whether SFONS is a separate construct from spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and examined whether it is uniquely related to numerical abilities and mathematics…

Paulina Hamukonda; Kakoma Luneta – SAGE Open, 2023
Teachers' knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes contribute to the success of classroom instruction. Teaching approaches that are informed by teachers' good content knowledge of mathematics they teach are regarded as more effective and produce high learning outcomes. It is critical that teachers possess both content and pedagogical content knowledge as…

The Numeracy Kit for Kindergarten 5-Year-Olds (NyKK-5) is a tool to support kindergarten teachers' numeracy practices. Based on a pedagogy of enactment, the NyKK-5 was designed to simulate the types of in-class supports that have been identified as critical elements of effective mathematics professional development (PD). Two groups of teachers…

LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Sowinski, Carla; Cankaya, Ozlem – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
What is the foundational knowledge that children rely on to provide meaning as they construct an exact symbolic number system? People and animals can quickly and accurately distinguish small exact quantities (i.e., 1 to 3). One possibility is that children's ability to map small quantities to spoken number words supports their developing exact…
