Fuchs, Lynn S.; Bucka, Nicole; Clarke, Ben; Dougherty, Barbara; Jordan, Nancy C.; Karp, Karen S.; Woodward, John; Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Newman-Gonchar, Rebecca; Schumacher, Robin; Haymond, Kelly; Lyskawa, Julia; Keating, Betsy; Morgan, Seth – What Works Clearinghouse, 2021
Recent intervention research has demonstrated success in raising the achievement level of students who are struggling with mathematics. This practice guide, developed by the What Works Clearinghouseâ„¢ (WWC) in conjunction with an expert panel, distills this contemporary mathematics intervention research into six easily comprehensible and practical…

Gould, Peter – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
Learning the sequence of number words in English up to 30 is not a simple process. In NSW government schools taking part in "Early Action for Success," over 800 students in each of the first 3 years of school were assessed every 5 weeks over the school year to determine the highest correct oral count they could produce. Rather than…

Merkley, Rebecca; Shimi, Andria; Scerif, Gaia – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
It is not yet understood how children acquire the meaning of numerical symbols and most existing research has focused on the role of approximate non-symbolic representations of number in this process (see Piazza, ("Trends in Cognitive" 14(12):542-551, 2010). However, numerical symbols necessitate an understanding of both order and…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Are there differential benefits of training sequential number knowledge versus spatial skills for children's numerical and spatial performance? Three- to five-year-old children (N = 84) participated in 1 session of either sequential training (e.g., what comes before and after the number 5?) or non-numerical spatial training (i.e., decomposition of…

Mudaly, Vimolan; Naidoo, Jayaluxmi – Perspectives in Education, 2015
The purpose of this paper is to explore how master mathematics teachers use the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) sequence of instruction in mathematics classrooms. Data was collected from a convenience sample of six master teachers by observations, video recordings of their teaching, and semi-structured interviews. Data collection also…

Mathy, Fabien; Feldman, Jacob – Cognition, 2012
Short term memory is famously limited in capacity to Miller's (1956) magic number 7 plus or minus 2--or, in many more recent studies, about 4 plus or minus 1 "chunks" of information. But the definition of "chunk" in this context has never been clear, referring only to a set of items that are treated collectively as a single unit. We propose a new…

GARBER, CLAIRE N. – 1963
A GROUP OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM FIVE SCHOOLS MET FOR TWO WEEKS TO DISCUSS MEANS OF IMPROVING ARITHMETIC TEACHING. THE CONTENT OF EACH GRADE WAS EXAMINED. THE PURPOSE WAS TO DETERMINE VARIOUS APPROACHES TO MOTIVATE BETTER LEARNING. NOTES OF THESE MEETINGS HAVE BEEN REPRODUCED AND SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHERS OFFERED. TEACHERS SHOULD PROVIDE MANY…
