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…

Tzohar-Rozen, Meirav; Kimhi, Yael; Cohen, Dalia – Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals, 2022
Early mathematics achievement is a significant predictor of future math learning. Current research shows that teachers lack knowledge in teaching methods for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Specifically, research focusing on teaching mathematics in ASD is limited. A competency-based education (CBE) mathematics intervention was…

Doabler, Christian T.; Clarke, Ben; Kosty, Derek; Maddox, Steven A.; Smolkowski, Keith; Fien, Hank; Baker, Scott K.; Kimmel, Georgia L. – Grantee Submission, 2021
A concerning number of students enter kindergarten facing an intractable variation of mathematics difficulties (MD). This study investigated the impact of an explicit, core kindergarten mathematics program on the mathematical outcomes of kindergartners who demonstrated severe MD at kindergarten entry and examined whether these students improved…

Öçal, Tugba; Halmatov, Medera – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2021
Children have mathematical understanding beginning from the early years of life. Mathematics education during these years has a significant effect on children's future lives. Play is a significant issue in children's lives and can be used as a way for teaching and learning. It presents a rich learning environment. In this study, therefore, we…

Watanabe, Nobuki – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
In recent years, scholars have increasingly advocated the importance of cultivating non-cognitive skills (social and emotional skills) in early childhood, and play is useful in acquiring the skills. Simultaneously, young children also need to acquire mathematical cognitive skills as a learning foundation. However, many researchers have indicated…

Becker, Birgit; Tuppat, Julia – Educational Research, 2018
Background: Ethnic educational inequality is present in almost all Western societies. One possible explanation for the persisting disadvantages of children from immigrant family backgrounds is discrimination. Individual ethnic discrimination has been reported in the form of ethnic bias in school teachers' evaluations and recommendations. Children…

Li, Li; Zhou, Xin; Gao, Xuliang; Tu, Dongbo – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
In this study we investigated the development of 245 kindergarteners' mathematics problem solving (MPS) at two time points within 7 months using a cognitive diagnostic test, which measured three cognitive components (mathematical knowledge and skills, semantic understanding, and quantitative reasoning) with eleven cognitive attributes. The effects…
