Giannis Karagiannakis; Marie-Pascale Noël; Anna Baccaglini-Frank; Cristiano Termine – Discover Education, 2024
By the end of primary school, children are expected to acquire a range of mathematical skills that progressively develop. This study aimed to gain insight into how a large number of numerical and geometrical measures are grouped and whether the structures shift or remain invariant along child's development based on the data obtained from a sample…

Sturz, Bradley R.; Bell, Z. Kade; Bodily, Kent D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
During spatial reorientation, the use of local geometric cues (e.g., corner angles) and global geometric cues (e.g., principal axis) is differentially influenced by enclosure size. Local geometric cues exert more influence in large enclosures compared to small enclosures, whereas the use of global geometric cues is not influenced by changes in…

Walcott, Crystal; Mohr, Doris; Kastberg, Signe E. – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2009
In this study, we examine a large set of student responses to a constructed-response geometry item on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) administered in 1992 and 1996. The item asks students to name the similarities and differences between a parallelogram and a rectangle of equal area presented side by side on a grid. Through…

Spatial Analysis: An Examination of Preschoolers' Perception and Construction of Geometric Patterns.

Feeney, Suzanne Mendoza; Stiles, Joan – Developmental Psychology, 1996
Children 3.5 to 5 years old were asked to judge which of several possible sets of parts matched a configured target form and to copy the target forms. Found a significant association between age and performance on the perception task and consistency across the two tasks. (MDM)

Sarama, Julie; Clements, Douglas H. – Early Childhood Today, 2005
Good early mathematics is broader and deeper than early practice on "school skills." High-quality mathematics should be a joy--not a pressure. It can emerge from children's play, their curiosity, and their natural ability to think. This article describes the areas of mathematics that young children can learn, and encourages elementary teachers to…
