Rathé, Sanne; Torbeyns, Joke; Smedt, Bert De; Verschaffel, Lieven – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
Children's spontaneous focusing on Arabic number symbols (SFONS) has been identified as a relevant component of their early mathematical development. This study investigated whether SFONS is a separate construct from spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and examined whether it is uniquely related to numerical abilities and mathematics…

Leiss, Dominik; Plath, Jennifer; Schwippert, Knut – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2019
Solving reality-based tasks is an important goal in mathematics instruction and is anchored in education standards determined by mathematical modeling skills. These tasks demand a serious examination of the real-world as well as text comprehension to successfully solve them. Therefore, this study empirically reconstructed the comprehension process…

Turner, Erin E.; Gutierrez, Maura Varley; Simic-Muller, Ksenija; Diez-Palomar, Javier – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2009
This critical ethnographic study of an after-school mathematics club for elementary-aged Latina/o youth focuses on connecting critical, community, and mathematical knowledge in the context of authentic, community-based investigations. We present cases of two extended projects to highlight tensions and dilemmas that emerged, particularly tensions…
