Ally Patterson; Robin Moyher; Robert Pasnak; Barbara J. Kaminski – Education and Treatment of Children, 2025
As early as first grade, some children are more likely than others to perform arithmetic using inefficient or other overt counting strategies. To partially address this problem, the primary investigator developed a skill hierarchy with procedures based on applied behavior analysis. The novel early-intervention program included a combination of…

Osana, Helena P.; Wagner, Vera; Navarrete-Ulloa, Jairo A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2023
The hundreds chart is a valuable tool for teachers in elementary mathematics classrooms. The present study investigated the effects of spatial configurations of virtual hundreds charts on children's knowledge of base-ten concepts. Kindergarten and first-grade students were assigned to three instructional conditions in which they worked with a…

Doz, Eleonora; Cuder, Alessandro; Pellizzoni, Sandra; Carretti, Barbara; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
A crucial component of mathematics curriculum in primary education is represented by the ability to solve arithmetic word problems. Previous studies investigated predominantly the cognitive factors underlying this skill, neglecting the role of emotional (e.g. math anxiety -- MA) and metacognitive aspects (e.g. perceived difficulty). Some findings…

Nataree Pongsai; Apantee Poonputta – Higher Education Studies, 2023
The ability to recognize one's learning processes is important for learning mathematics as it helps learners to practice the thinking process of how each element works in solving mathematics problems. The K-W-D-L technique has emerged as a technique that could bring about metacognition in learning and it could be beneficial in elementary school…

Jiaxin Cui; Fan Yang; Yuanyi Peng; Saisai Wang; Xinlin Zhou – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Symbolic and situational mathematics are the two major representations of mathematical knowledge. Although previous literature has studied the relationship between the two from the perspective of teaching practice, learning effectiveness and behavioural performance, there is still a lack of empirical psychological research on cognitive mechanisms…

Sievert, Henning; van den Ham, Ann-Katrin; Heinze, Aiso – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
Students need to create mental models for different types of addition and subtraction situations in order to develop a broad and viable understanding of these operations. Although most students succeed when changing or combining sets, situations that demand a quantitative comparison of sets seem considerably more difficult in the first school…

Sianturi, Iwan Andi Jonri; Ismail, Zaleha; Yang, Der-Ching – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
The purpose of this study is to compare the differences of four essential aspects (i.e., representational forms, contextual features, cognitive demand levels, and response types) embedded in mathematical problems within the topics of numbers and operations in mathematics textbooks used in Finland, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan. This…

She, Xiaobo; Harrington, Timothy – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
Problem solving has been the focus of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice. Helping students acquire critical-thinking and problem-solving skills has become the primary goal of mathematics education across all grade levels. However, research has found that many students struggle with word problems because of poor text…

Kalinec-Craig, Crystal A.; Prasad, Priya V.; Mira, Raquel Vallines; Walls, Carey – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2019
This paper details an exploratory study of 14 elementary prospective teachers (PTs) solving purposefully crafted, two-digit addition problems. The numbers in each problem were chosen to elicit diverse solution strategies. We coded 95 responses based on the ways the PTs completed the calculation (for example, by referring to the number as…

Tárraga-Mínguez, Raúl; Tarín-Ibáñez, Julio; Lacruz-Pérez, Irene – Education Sciences, 2021
The teaching guides that complement textbooks have key importance in the assessment of competence in problem solving, because these materials contain the assessment tools that teachers frequently use to quantify the achievements of their students. In this paper, we set two aims: to analyze which curriculum contents are given priority in the…
