Herold, Katherine H.; Bock, Allison M.; Murphy, Melissa M.; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2020
When a student struggles with a mathematics task, adults may rephrase or expand initial task instructions to clarify instructions or scaffold problem solving. Yet expanded instructions may not benefit all children, especially children with a mathematics learning disability (MLD). Here, we explore whether expanded instructions differentially affect…

Jessica H. Hunt; Michelle Taub; Matthew Marino; Kenneth Holman; Alejandra Duarte; Brianna Bentley – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
We analyzed the effects of a game-based, supplemental fraction curriculum on fourth and fifth grade students' fraction knowledge, engagement, and STEM interest. Students with and without disabilities with intersecting identities (e.g., race, disability status, gender) comprised the sample. Results indicate significant differences in fraction…

Friesen, Marita Eva; Kuntze, Sebastian – Research in Mathematics Education, 2020
Using multiple representations and changing between them is at the heart of the mathematics classroom; unconnected changes can, however, be obstructive for students' learning. In order to support students' learning with multiple representations, teachers have to link observed situation aspects with relevant professional knowledge, a competence we…

Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S.; Baker, Joseph; Westenskow, Arla; Anderson-Pence, Katie L.; Shumway, Jessica F.; Jordan, Kerry E. – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2014
The purpose of this study was to determine variables that predict performance when virtual manipulatives are used for mathematics instruction. This study used a quasi-experimental design. This design was used to determine variables that predict student performance on tests of fraction knowledge for third- and fourth-grade students in two treatment…

Susperreguy Jorquera, Maria Ines – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Early math skills are the strongest predictors of later math achievement in school. This two-wave study addressed three research questions about the role of families in fostering these skills in preschool-aged children. First, how do families talk about math at home? Second, how do these conversations vary across families with different…
