Kotsopoulos, Donna; Makosz, Samantha; Zambrzycka, Joanna – Early Education and Development, 2017
Research Findings: In this research we explore the relationship between young children's number knowledge and their measurement of length. First, we examined 4- to 5-year-olds' (kindergartners') understanding of and preference for using standard or nonstandard units to measure length. Second, we investigated whether the following tasks were…

Dejonckheere, Peter J. N.; Desoete, Annemie; Fonck, Nathalie; Roderiguez, Dave; Six, Leen; Vermeersch, Tine; Vermeulen, Lies – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2014
Introduction: In the present study we used a metaphorical representation in order to stimulate the numerical competences of six-year-olds. It was expected that when properties of physical action are used for mathematical thinking or when abstract mathematical thinking is grounded in sensorimotor processes, learning gains should be more pronounced…
