We investigate the effects of private schools on reading and numeracy scores using rich population data. Conditional on lagged test scores and narrowly defined neighborhood indicators, Catholic and non-Christian faith private schools on average raise test scores by 0.18 standard deviation or more relative to the average public school, while…

Download full textSvein Arne Sikko – Numeracy, 2023
Mathematical literacy, quantitative literacy, numeracy, matheracy, disciplinary literacy, and content-area literacy are among a plethora of terms used to link mathematics and literacy. In addition to this abundance of terms, the content of the terms is not precise, and in some cases the terms are used interchangeably. I delve into this landscape…

Paola Montufar Soria; Jimena Cosso; David Purpura; Gigliana Melzi – Infant and Child Development, 2025
Findings from previous work show that caregivers' math anxiety moderates the positive association between caregiver-child math activities and child math outcomes. Most of this research, however, has focused on elementary school children, primarily White populations, and used mainstream measures. The present study examined the associations between…

The Relation between Spontaneous Focusing on Numerosity and Mathematics Performance: A Meta-Analysis
Xiangyu Li; Boby Ho-Hong Ching; Lihua Tan; Xiaofei Li; Jiajia Li; Tiffany Ting Chen – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Substantial research has explored the connection between children's spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and their current and later mathematical achievement. However, the findings have been inconsistent, and no comprehensive investigation has yet been conducted. This meta-analysis examines the relation between SFON and mathematics…

Xin Lin; Peng Peng; Xiuwen Song; Qile Liu – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
The current meta-analysis investigates the longitudinal association between prior and subsequent mathematics performance, involving mathematics measured at three time points, and to identify potential factors that could moderate this association, including age, time lag, and types of mathematics. Our analysis included 105 studies, comprising 111…

Numeracy skills are integral to the National Assessment, serving as a benchmark for gauging learning success. In addition to cognitive aspects, the affective aspect crucial in learning is self-efficacy. However, according to PISA 2018 data, the average score for numeracy skills of Indonesian students ranks in the bottom 6. The existing condition…

The purpose of these meta-analyses was to examine the effectiveness of home-based interventions aimed at improving literacy and mathematics outcomes for preschool-age children (mean age = 4.29 years; range = 3.07-5.32 years) and to develop an understanding of what home-based interventions work in different contexts. A total of 32 studies met the…

Sixty (35 girls and 25 boys) 9th-grade students' conceptual understanding of the number line was qualitatively assessed through verbal explanations and visual representations. The assessment included an open-ended question focused on students' number line descriptions and the explanations coalesced around six features: sequential ordering (i.e.,…

Emily Elrod; Joo young Park – Numeracy, 2024
The increased relevancy and importance of quantitative literacy (QL) have called for educational reform in undergraduate mathematics course offerings. However, lack of clear guidelines has led to wide variability in the content and outcomes of math courses meant to address QL. Therefore, having an expert consensus regarding content and outcomes…

Ruhan Karadag Yilmaz; Tugba Horzum; Ilhan Koyuncu – Online Submission, 2024
The aim of this study is to examine the correlation between reading culture and the mathematical literacy self-efficacy among pre-service teachers and assesses these variables in relation to several factors. Utilizing convenience sampling, the research sample consists of 562 pre-service teachers studying in mathematics and primary school teaching…

Although many studies on early childhood have been conducted, there is still a need for further research on numeracy and vocabulary skills, particularly in Indonesia. This research aims to confirm the correlation between numeracy and vocabulary skills in preschool children and to disentangle the effects of environmental factors on both numeracy…

Alice Hein; Klaus Diepold – Cognitive Science, 2024
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…

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%…
