Constantly on the lookout for Canadian mathematics education matters, because if Canadian mathematics education matters then Canadian mathematics education matters, three young university bookstore employees, university students, unable to make proper change when I handed them a five dollar bill for a sticker I was purchasing for my laptop,…

Limin Jao; Jennifer Hall; Cinzia Di Placido – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Research on gender issues and mathematics education is often conducted in classroom settings and/or with teachers, students, and parents. However, perspectives about mathematics from adults beyond teachers and parents can have an impact on students. Thus, we conducted research in Australia and Canada about the general public's views of gender and…

Armstrong, Alayne; Gerofsky, Susan – Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
In this article, we consider the phenomenon of improvisation by small groups of middle years students while engaged in rich mathematical tasks in a classroom setting. Working from the premise that improvisation comprises a spectrum of behaviour, we propose that there is a range of improvisational behaviours that may be observed as the students…

Widjaja, Wanty; Vale, Colleen; Herbert, Sandra; Loong, Esther Y-K.; Bragg, Leicha A. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2021
Engaging students in comparing and contrasting, forming conjectures, generalising and justifying is critical to develop their mathematical reasoning, but there are untapped opportunities for primary school students to improve these reasoning processes in mathematics lessons. Through a case study of one task, this paper reports on levels of…

Comparison shopping is good financial practice, but situations involving numbers and computations are challenging for consumers with math anxiety. We asked North Americans (N = 256) to select the better deal between two products differing in volume and price. As predicted, math anxiety was negatively related to performance on this Price Comparison…

Nicola Urquhart; Joanne Lee; Eileen Wood – Journal of Children and Media, 2024
Well-designed math apps can foster children's numeracy development. Although parents are interested in using math apps for their children, the quantity and variability in quality of apps can make app selection challenging. As such, it is important to know how parents evaluate numeracy content in math apps for their children. This study…

Chernoff, Egan J. – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2021
As a Canadian mathematics educator, I have a vested interest in Canadian mathematics education matters. After all, to me, Canadian mathematics education matters. It should come as no surprise then that I have followed the most recent debate over the teaching and learning of mathematics here in Canada for the past decade. The problem, at least for…

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…

Alam, Sabrina Shajeen; Dubé, Adam Kenneth – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: A strong knowledge of mathematics, beginning at the elementary level, is critical for participation in today's complex world. The home may be one way to facilitate individualized mathematics instruction, given that children spend more time at home than in an academic institution. Therefore, researchers are interested to see whether the…

Lauren D. Goegan; Damilola Olanrewaju; Gabrielle Young – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2024
A scoping review was conducted to examine current Canadian research on learning disabilities (LD). Ninety-six articles were found in LD specific journals that were written by researchers from Canadian universities between 2013-2023. Their research could be incapsulated into 10 themes: (a) reading and literacy, (b) language and linguistics, (c)…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina; Maloney, Erin A.; Wylie, Judith; Simms, Victoria; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Osana, Helena P. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Children's knowledge of the ordinal relations among number symbols is related to their mathematical learning. Ordinal knowledge has been measured using judgment (i.e., decide whether a sequence of three digits is in order) and ordering tasks (i.e., order three digits from smallest to largest). However, the question remains whether performance on…

Lafay, Anne; Osana, Helena P.; Levin, Joel R. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
We investigated the effect of conceptual transparency in the physical structure of manipulatives on place-value understanding in typically developing children and those at risk for mathematics learning disabilities. Second graders were randomly assigned to one of three manipulatives conditions: (a) attachable beads that did not make the…

Lau, Nathan T. T.; Merkley, Rebecca; Tremblay, Paul; Zhang, Samuel; De Jesus, Stefanie; Ansari, Daniel – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Research has shown that two different, though related, ways of representing magnitude play foundational roles in the development of numerical and mathematical skills: a nonverbal approximate number system and an exact symbolic number system. While there have been numerous studies suggesting that the two systems are important predictors of math…

Husband, Marc – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
This article examines the mathematics learning experiences in proportional reasoning I created for pre-service teachers in my teacher education course in Canada. The approach aimed to enable pre-service teachers to work on and with their prior mathematics understandings, make connections that were particular to what emerged during group work, and…

M.; Dionne, Ginette; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boivin, Michel; Kovas, Yulia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood. Aims: This…
