Early number skills represent critical milestones in children's cognitive development and are shaped over years of interacting with quantities and numerals in various contexts. Several connectionist computational models have attempted to emulate how certain number concepts may be learned, represented, and processed in the brain. However, these…

Abigail A. Allen; R. Alex Smith; Matthew K. Burns; Erica S. Lembke – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
Early academic skills and behavioral characteristics in students are predictive of later school achievement, but academics and behavior are commonly compartmentalized in research and practice. This study investigated to what extent first-grade early numeracy (EN), literacy, and behavior ratings predicted fourth-grade mathematics achievement. In…

Sevim Nuraydin; Johannes Stricker; Michael Schneider – Child Development, 2024
The number line estimation task is frequently used to measure children's numerical magnitude understanding. It is unclear whether the resulting straight, horizontal, left-to-right-oriented estimate patterns indicate task constraints or children's intuitive number--space mapping. Three- to six-year-old children (N = 72, M[subscript age] = 4.89, 56%…

Recent decades have seen a rapid acceleration in global participation in formal education, due to worldwide initiatives aimed to provide school access to all children. Research in high income countries has shown that school quality indicators have a significant, positive impact on numeracy and literacy--skills required to participate in the…

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…

Bolstad, Oda Heidi – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Worldwide, there has been an increased emphasis on enabling students to recognise the real-world significance of mathematics. Mathematical literacy is a notion used to define the competencies required to meet the demands of life in modern society. In this article, students' encounters with mathematical literacy are investigated. The data comprises…

Decarli, Gisella; Zingaro, Donatella; Surian, Luca; Piazza, Manuela – Developmental Science, 2023
Preverbal infants spontaneously represent the number of objects in collections. Is this 'sense of number' (also referred to as Approximate Number System, ANS) part of the cognitive foundations of mathematical skills? Multiple studies reported a correlation between the ANS and mathematical achievement in children. However, some have suggested that…

Jones, Steven R.; Ely, Robert – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2023
Calculus education research on integration is coalescing around the theme that teaching integration based on quantitative reasoning is crucial for robust understanding of and usage of integrals. This paper contributes to this International Journal for Research in Undergraduate Education special issue on the teaching and learning of definite…

Ichikowitz, Kerri; Bruce, Carolyn; Meitanis, Vanessa; Cheung, Kelly; Kim, Yekyung; Talbourdet, Esther; Newton, Caroline – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: People with aphasia (PWA) can experience functional numeracy difficulties, that is, problems understanding or using numbers in everyday life, which can have numerous negative impacts on their daily lives. There is growing interest in designing functional numeracy interventions for PWA; however, there are limited suitable assessments…

One model of numeric perception is a density-area mechanism: a process that estimates both density and area of an array, then multiplies them to create an estimate of number. One line of evidence that supports this is the surprising numeric Ebbinghaus illusion: smaller context circles lead to greater perceived number than larger context circles,…

Wilkey, Eric D. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
Attention and executive functions (EFs) play a critical role in academic skill development, including literacy and numeracy. Deficits in attention and EFs often accompany learning disorders, such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. Despite their well-established link, we lack a nuanced understanding of the specific neurobiological mechanisms that…

Dolscheid, Sarah; Ostrowski, Lea; Verlage, Heiko – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
The approximate number system (ANS) is foundational to numerical cognition. Whereas some studies hint at intact ANS skills in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), others report impaired ANS abilities. To reconcile these discrepant findings, we investigated ANS skills of children with DS and typically developing (TD) children in a non-symbolic…

Judith A. Alamprese; Kees Hoogland – New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, 2025
Adults' development of literacy and numeracy skills that can enable them to navigate the demands of contemporary life and be prepared for the future is central to their economic, social, and personal well-being and the functioning of society. This article discusses the role of literacy and numeracy in adult learning and education, beginning with…

Despite the clear and obvious need for adults to be proficient in numeracy, international studies suggest that many continue to struggle in this area. In Ireland, one of the main challenges continues to be the availability of effective adult numeracy education. This is a diverse sector, and little is known about the varied provision of adult…

Quantitative reasoning is an essential learning objective of physics instruction. The Physics Inventory for Quantitative Literacy (PIQL) is a published assessment tool that has been developed for calculus-based physics courses to help instructors evaluate whether their students learn to reason this way. However, the PIQL is not appropriate for the…
