Hannula-Sormunen, Minna; Nanu, Cristina; Luomaniemi, Katri; Heinonen, Milja; Sorariutta, Anne; Södervik, Ilona; Mattinen, Aino – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
In this study we investigated the effects of two naturalistic 2- to 4-year-old children's intervention programs aimed at promoting children's Spontaneous Focusing On Numerosity (SFON) and early numerical skills. The study consisted of a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design with a delayed posttest and an active control group participating in…

Sadler, Faith H. – TEACHING Exceptional Children Plus, 2009
Recent research has revealed new information about how preschoolers develop an understanding of counting, and offers exciting new strategies for teaching. These new strategies encourage children to problem solve and use reasoning to understand quantities and how counting works rather than simply providing them practice with counting procedures.…

Moomaw, Sally – Brookes Publishing Company, 2011
Children who learn math fundamentals in preschool and kindergarten have the best chance of later achievement in school--but too often, children don't get the effective early math instruction that makes all the difference. Now there's a core early childhood textbook that helps current and future educators teach the most critical math concepts to…
