Piper, Benjamin; Sitabkhan, Yasmin; Nderu, Evangeline – Global Education Review, 2018
Given the dearth of research on early numeracy interventions in low- and middle-income countries, this paper presents the instructional methodology and impact results of the Tayari program. Tayari is a preprimary intervention in Kenya (2014-2019) that prepares children aged four and five for entry into primary school by providing materials for…

Bickerstaff, Susan; Edgecombe, Nikki – Community College Research Center, Teachers College, Columbia University, 2019
Adult proficiency in numeracy in the United States lags that of other developed nations, and the nonselective institutions that dominate the higher education sector struggle to address the learning needs of the sizeable proportion of students who enroll in their institutions and are deemed academically underprepared in mathematics. Research on…

Shivraj, Pooja; Geller, Leanne Ketterlin; Basaraba, Deni; Geller, Josh; Hatfield, Cassandra; Näslund-Hadley, Emma – Global Education Review, 2018
Research indicates that parental involvement in children's education is positively related to academic achievement in mathematics; however, there are few studies on the role of parental involvement in the context of developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to document the iterative development using design-based research (DBR) of a…

Platas, Linda M.; Ketterlin-Geller, Leanne R.; Sitabkhan, Yasmin – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2016
This paper describes the development and intended uses of the Early Grades Mathematics Assessment (EGMA), which measures essential early mathematical knowledge and skills that are foundational to more sophisticated mathematical abilities, predictive of later achievement, and teachable. Administering the EGMA can provide policy makers,…

Opel, Aftab; Zaman, Syeda Sazia; Khanom, Ferdousi; Aboud, Frances E. – International Journal of Educational Development, 2012
A randomized evaluation of a 9-month comprehensive math program for preprimary Bangladeshi school children addressed skills such as numbers, measurement, shapes, patterns, and space. Nine schools were randomly selected for the Intervention group and nine for the Control group, with 12 children randomly selected from each to participate in testing.…

Kelcey, Ben; Spybrook, Jessaca; Zhang, Jiaqi; Phelps, Geoffrey; Jones, Nathan – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
With research indicating substantial differences among teachers in terms of their effectiveness (Nye, Konstantopoulous, & Hedges, 2004), a major focus of recent research in education has been on improving teacher quality through professional development (Desimone, 2009; Institute of Educations Sciences [IES], 2012; Measures of Effective…

Catch Up® Numeracy is a one to one intervention for learners who are struggling with numeracy. It consists of two 15-minute sessions per week, delivered by teaching assistants (TAs). The approach is based on research indicating that numeracy is not a single skill, but a composite of several component skills that are relatively discrete. The…

Stancavage, Fran; Garet, Michael; Wayne, Andrew – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
The PD program evaluated in this study is designed to address the problem of low student achievement in topics in rational numbers. The study focuses on seventh grade, the culminating year for teaching those topics. The study randomly assigned 77 mid- and high-poverty schools from 12 districts to treatment and control conditions and collected…

Wayne, Andrew; Garet, Michael; Taylor, James; Song, Mengli – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
This paper will describe results concerning the impact of the PD on the three primary study outcomes: teacher knowledge of rational number topics, teacher instructional practices, and student achievement in rational number topics. All analyses are completed. However, the results cannot be shared at this time because the report is currently under…

Weiner, Max; And Others – 1970
In 1968 the New York City Board of Education initiated a large scale test of a computer assisted instruction (CAI) program for drill and practice in elementary arithmetic. The program was a modified version of one developed by Dr. Patrick Suppes of Stanford University. An RCA Spectra 70/45 computer and 192 terminals located in elementary schools…

Kouba, Vicky L.; Moser, James M. – 1979
This paper reports the formative evaluation of six curriculum units related to initial number sentence writing. These units were used for a coordinated study carried out by the Mathematics Work Group of the Wisconsin Research and Development Center for Individualized Schooling. The units were tried during the 1977-78 and 1978-79 school years at a…

Resnick, Lauren B.; And Others – 1990
The efficacy of an early mathematics program aimed at developing number sense and built entirely on children's invented procedures and on their informally acquired quantitative knowledge was studied. To socialize children to think of themselves as reasoners about numbers, the classroom program routinely provided daily conversation about numbers…

Jones, Graham A.; And Others – 1992
A broad range of research efforts are currently examining the quality and nature of the mathematics instructional program in the early grades. The purpose of this paper was to report on the assessment of a teaching-learning program in grade one classrooms. The major goals of the study were to: (1) identify patterns and change in children's…
