Helping Preschoolers Learn Math: The Impact of Emphasizing the Patterns in Objects and Numbers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Zippert, Erica L.; Douglas, Ashli-Ann; Tian, Fang; Rittle-Johnson, Bethany – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Preschoolers' repeating patterning knowledge is predictive of their concurrent and later math and numeracy knowledge, but strong experimental evidence is needed to determine if these relations are causal. The purpose of the current study was to examine the causal effects of repeating patterning and numeracy tutoring on repeating patterning,…

Mielicki, Marta K.; Fitzsimmons, Charles J.; Woodbury, Lauren H.; Marshal, Hannah; Zhang, Dake; Rivera, Ferdinand D.; Thompson, Clarissa A. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Prior work exploring preschool-aged children's reasoning with repeating patterns has shown that patterning ability is an important predictor of math achievement; however, there is limited research exploring older children's growing pattern task performance. The current study tested whether presentation format impacts performance on growing pattern…
