Jylänki, Pinja; Sipinen, Elina; Mbay, Theo; Sääkslahti, Arja; Aunio, Pirjo – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
The aim of this pilot study was to examine the immediate and long-term effects of an intervention program that aims to improve preschoolers' (N = 36, M = 4.49 years, SD = 0.35) early numeracy skills by combining the learning of numerical relational skills via story reading with fundamental motor skill practice. The intervention program was piloted…

Nicole M. McKevett; Robin S. Codding; Kristin R. Running – Remedial and Special Education, 2024
Preschool students' mastery of early numeracy skills is important, so they enter kindergarten with the necessary prerequisite skills, which are predictive of achievement in later elementary grades. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instructional package on the foundational early…

Lara Hoareau; Youssef Tazouti – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Although the acceptance of educational apps and their contributions to learning have been widely researched, none of these studies have examined links between teachers' acceptance of apps and their students' skills. The present study investigated this issue with respect to a new, French-language educational app for helping preschool children…

Cristina Carrazza; Susan C. Levine – Grantee Submission, 2024
Children vary widely in their number knowledge by the time they enter kindergarten, and this variation is related to their future academic success. Although talk about number predicts children's early understanding of foundational number concepts, we know little about whether interventions can increase this talk nor about the types of number talk…

Luomaniemi, Katri; Mattinen, Aino; Sorariutta, Anne; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
In this quasi-experimental study we examined how the Count How Many (CHM) intervention program can support multilingual children's early numeracy and oral language skills. The program is aimed at promoting spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and early numeracy skills in 3- to 5-year-old children who attend day care. We examined the effects…

Bonnie L. Ingelin; Seyma Intepe-Tingir; Nanette C. Hammons – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2023
Teaching children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) academic skills supports their future opportunities. For example, early number sense skills are predictive of future mathematical success for all children including children with ASD. Yet, research on foundational early childhood mathematics skills of children with ASD is limited. This study…

Gable, Sara; Fozi, Afiah Mohd; Moore, Alex M. – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2021
This study evaluates the efficacy of a physically-active number learning game for young preschoolers. The intervention adapts Ramani and Siegler's (Child Develop 79(2):375-394, 2008) successful The Great Race by modifying the mode of play from seated at a table to jumping with two feet on a large game mat. 75 children (mean age: 46 months) in the…

Purpura, David J.; Schmitt, Sara A.; Napoli, Amy R.; Dobbs-Oates, Jennifer; King, Yemimah A.; Hornburg, Caroline Byrd; Westerberg, Lauren; Borriello, Giulia A.; Bryant, Lindsey M.; Anaya, Laura Y.; Kung, Melody; Litkowski, Ellen; Lin, Joyce; Rolan, Emily – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
The goal of this study was to evaluate immediate and delayed effects of a caregiver-implemented picture book intervention to support children's mathematical language and numeracy skills. Eighty-four 3- to 5-year-olds (M[subscript age] = 4.14) were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 40) or active control (n = 44) conditions. Participants in the…

Cooper, Sandi; Shelton, Ryann N.; Padgett, R. Noah; Crowley, Brandy; Kerschen, Keith; Donham, Melissa P. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2022
This longitudinal quantitative study determined the impact of a summer mathematics academy for early learners on their number sense and how their number sense compared to that of their peers who did not attend the academy. The Texas Early Mathematics Inventory -- Progress Monitoring (TEMI-PM) was used to measure students' number sense. Results…

To, Vinh Thi; Swabey, Karen; Bown, Andy; Thai, Bao – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
The cognitive, educational and economic benefits of learning a second language have been well documented in the literature. This paper reports findings on perspectives of 13 stakeholders on the benefits of a case study about teaching Vietnamese to preschoolers in a regional early childhood context in Tasmania, Australia in 2017. Using a thematic…

Paliwal, Veena; Baroody, Arthur J. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The "cardinality principle" (CP) is a conceptual basis of counting collections meaningfully and provides a foundation for understanding other key aspects of numeracy, such as the successor principle or counting-on to determine sums. Unfortunately, little research has focused on how best to teach the CP. One suggestion is that modeling…

Hudson, Kesha N.; Ballou, Haley M.; Willoughby, Michael T. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Previous studies have documented that individual differences in fine and gross motor skills are associated with executive function (EF) skills. This study used an experimental design to test whether participating in cognitively challenging motor skills activities was causally related to improvements in motor skills and two key indicators of school…

Scalise, Nicole R.; Daubert, Emily N.; Ramani, Geetha B. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2020
Low-income preschoolers have lower average performance on measures of early numerical skills than middle-income children. The present study examined the effectiveness of numerical card games in improving children's numerical and executive functioning skills. Low-income preschoolers (N = 76) were randomly assigned to play a numerical magnitude…

Lange, Alissa A.; Brenneman, Kimberly; Sareh, Narges – Early Education and Development, 2021
Research Findings: This study evaluated the effects of an early mathematics intervention designed to engage preschool children, their teachers, and their families in an interactive mathematics game. Previous research shows that playing this specific type of linear board game results in increased numerical skills and understanding in young children…
