Gervasoni, Ann; Roche, Anne; Downton, Ann – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2021
In this paper we explore how participation in a constructivist-oriented, classroom aligned mathematics intervention program advanced the learning and positive dispositions of Grade 1 students who were failing to thrive when learning mathematics. Intervention programs are an approach to differentiated instruction that some schools adopt, but there…

Cheeseman, Jill; Downton, Ann; Ferguson, Sarah; Roche, Anne – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Children's multiplicative thinking as the recognition of equal group structures and the enumeration of the composite units was the subject of this research. In this paper, we provide an overview of the Multiplication and Division Investigations project. The results were obtained from a small sample of Australian children (n = 21) in their first…

Livy, Sharyn; Bobis, Janette; Downton, Ann; McCormick, Melody; Russo, James; Sullivan, Peter – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
All students should have access to learning experiences that help them make sense of important mathematical concepts. This study highlights teacher actions for consolidating student learning during teacher-lead discussion in the early years. We report on a case study of a Year 1 teacher involving a lesson observation. Highlights of the lesson…

Corovic, Ellen; Downton, Ann – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This study reports on an early career Year 2 teacher's reflections of enacting specifically structured resource materials and her practice change when participating in a mathematics professional learning project. A qualitative case study was designed to examine the reflections of a teacher's pre-service and in-service teaching experiences. Data…

Livy, Sharyn; Muir, Tracey; Downton, Ann – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2017
One of the challenges facing teacher educators is providing our pre-service teachers (PSTs) with authentic experiences that cross the boundaries between Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and the classroom. An additional challenge facing the mathematics teacher educator, is addressing and deepening PSTs' mathematical content knowledge (MCK), which…

Cheeseman, Jill; Downton, Ann; Roche, Anne; Ferguson, Sarah – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
In the context of a multiplicative problem, our study investigated young children's ability to visualise and draw equal groups. This paper reports the results obtained from 18 Australian children in their first year of school (age 5-6 years). The task "12 Little Ducks," taught by their classroom teacher, provoked children to visualise…

Reinhold, Simone; Downton, Ann; Livy, Sharyn – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
This paper provides historical insights and educational background of Froebel's Gifts, hands-on materials developed in the early 19th century. Based on an explorative study with 54 German children (aged 5 to 10) in 2016, we first took steps to explore how these materials meet the demands for early mathematics learning of primary children. Starting…
