Zehra E. Ünal; Züleyha Terzi; Beyzanur Yalvaç; David C. Geary – Developmental Science, 2024
Understanding the magnitudes represented by numerals is a core component of early mathematical development and is often assessed by accuracy in situating numerals and fractions on a number line. Performance on these measures is consistently related to performance in other mathematics domains, but the strength of these relations may be…

Susanne Strachota; Ana Stephens; Karisma Morton; Ranza Veltri-Torres; Maria Blanton; Angela Murphy Gardiner; Yewon Sung; Rena Stroud; Eric Knuth – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
This study investigated the role of tools in supporting students to reason about even and odd numbers. Participants included Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 students (ages 5-8) at two schools in the USA. Students took part in a cross-sectional early algebra intervention in which they were asked to generalize, represent, justify, and reason with…

Patterson, Margaret Becker – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Adults with learning disabilities (LD) face educational and employment challenges and may also have other disabilities and health conditions. Little is known about these adults' numeracy skills and how they use numeracy at work or home. The article's objective was to investigate numeracy skills and skill use for U.S. adults with LD. The author…

Suharta, I. Gusti Putu; Suarjana, I. Made – International Journal of Instruction, 2018
The purpose of this study is to describe Mathematical Literacy (ML) of Prospective Elementary School Teachers with attention to aspects of mathematical skills and gender. The type of research is qualitative with the research design of Case Study. Respondents are assigned 12 Prospective Elementary School Teachers, consisting of 6 men and 6 women.…

Vincent, Jill; Pierce, Robyn; Bardini, Caroline – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2017
In this article the authors analyze the written solutions of some first year undergraduate mathematics students from Victorian universities as they answered tutorial exercise questions relating to complex numbers and differentiation. These students had studied at least Mathematics Methods or its equivalent at secondary school. Complex numbers was…

West, John – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2016
This article takes the position that teachers can use simple manipulative materials to model relatively complex situations and in doing so scaffold the development of students' number sense and early algebra skills. While students' early experiences are usually dominated by the cardinal aspect of number (i.e., counting the number of items in a…

Nivens, Ryan – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2013
Some people recognize a palindrome when they see one, however fewer realize that a palindrome is a special case of a pattern and that these patterns are all around. Palindromes frequently occur in names, both of vehicles and people, and in music. The traditional mathematical curriculum has often left palindromes out of the common vernacular. Where…

Ervin, Heather K. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2017
It is well documented in literature that rational number is an important area of understanding in mathematics. Therefore, it follows that teachers and students need to have an understanding of rational number and related concepts such as fraction multiplication and division. This practitioner reference paper examines models that are important to…

Dobbs, David E. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
It is proved that an integer n [greater than or equal] 2 is a prime (resp., composite) number if and only if there exists exactly one (resp., more than one) nth-degree monic polynomial f with coefficients in Z[subscript n], the ring of integers modulo n, such that each element of Z[subscript n] is a root of f. This classroom note could find use in…

Ben Clarke; Christian T. Doabler; Keith Smolkowski; Evangeline Kurtz-Nelson; Hank Fien; Scott K. Baker; Derek Kosty – Grantee Submission, 2016
This study examined the efficacy of a kindergarten mathematics intervention program, ROOTS, focused on developing whole-number understanding in the areas of counting and cardinality and operations and algebraic thinking for students at risk in mathematics. The study utilized a randomized block design with students within classrooms randomly…

Downton, Ann; Giumelli, Kerry; McHugh, Barbara; Roosen, Tammy; Meredith, Nadine; Caleta, Geraldine; King, Melissa; Salkeld, Kathryn; Stenning, Paul – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
The complex nature of multiplicative thinking can be challenging for students and teachers to navigate. We report on the impact on student learning of school-based professional learning that targeted teachers' pedagogical content knowledge related to Multiplicative Thinking. Analysis of Year 4 students' longitudinal data indicated greater growth…

Pittalis, Marios; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra; Christou, Constantinos – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The present study revalidated a measurement model describing the nature of early number sense. Number sense was shown to be composed of elementary number sense, conventional arithmetic and algebraic arithmetic. Algebraic arithmetic was conceptualized as synthesis of number patterns, restrictions and functions. Two hundred and four 1st grade…

Saliga, Linda Marie; Daviso, Al; Stuart, Denise; Pachnowski, Lynne – Journal of Research and Practice for Adult Literacy, Secondary, and Basic Education, 2015
In this project, a university team of teacher education and mathematics professors conducted eight professional development sessions for General Educational Development (GED) teachers in the area of mathematics teaching. Topics included concretely modeling mathematics concepts in algebra, number sense, geometry, and differentiating instruction in…

Ali, Parveen – NADE Digest, 2014
The data for this study were gathered from an assignment consisting of 10 number sense related mathematics problems completed in an algebra course at developmental level. The results of the study suggest that a majority of developmental mathematics students use routine algorithmic procedures rather than mathematical reasoning to solve problems.…

Greenberg, Jan – Young Children, 2012
Math is everywhere! Mathematics is "a way of describing the world--a way of thinking, knowing, and problem-solving" (Virginia's Early Childhood Development Alignment Project 2008, 83). Infants and toddlers are natural mathematicians. Even without adult support, infants and toddlers use math concepts to make sense of their world. An important role…
