Tirosh, Dina; Tsamir, Pessia; Barkai, Ruthi; Levenson, Esther – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2018
This paper synthesizes research from three separate studies, analysing how different representations of a mathematical concept may affect young children's engagement with mathematical activities. Children between five and seven years old engaged in counting objects, identifying triangles and completing repeating patterns. The implementation of…

Cheng, Weiyi; Lei, Pui-Wa; DiPerna, James C. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
The purpose of the current study was to examine dimensionality and concurrent validity evidence of the EARLI numeracy measures (DiPerna, Morgan, & Lei, 2007), which were developed to assess key skills such as number identification, counting, and basic arithmetic. Two methods (NOHARM with approximate chi-square test and DIMTEST with DETECT…

Butner, Jonathan; Story, T. Nathan; Berg, Cynthia A.; Wiebe, Deborah J. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2011
Temporal patterning in blood glucose (BG) consistent with fractals--how BG follows a repetitive pattern through resolutions of time--was used to examine 2 different samples of adolescents with Type 1 diabetes (10-14 years). Sample 1 contained 10 adolescents with longtime series for accurate estimations of long-term dependencies associated with…

O'Brien, Thomas D. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2006
Magic squares have been of interest as a source of recreation for over 4,500 years. A magic square consists of a square array of n[squared] positive and distinct integers arranged so that the sum of any column, row, or main diagonal is the same. In particular, an array of consecutive integers from 1 to n[squared] forming an nxn magic square is…

Thompson, Ian – Mathematics Teaching, 2003
In a recent edition of "Mathematics Teaching" Midge Pasternack argued the case for the use of the 0-99 square with young children rather than the ubiquitous 1-100 square. In this article, the author would like to take the opportunity to mount a defence in favour of the much maligned 1-100 square. His main criticism of the 0-99 square (apart from…
