Jiniee Park; Gerardo Ramirez; Daeun Park – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
Increasing number of studies have revealed that teachers' math anxiety is related to the use of less effective pedagogical practices, which can lead to reduced math achievement among elementary school students. Children's math experience begins before formal schooling. However, there is limited information about the effect of preschool teachers'…

Luísa A. Ribeiro; Enrica Donolato; Cecília Aguiar; Nadine Correia; Henrik D. Zachrisson – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
The aim of this study was to summarize evidence about the relations between parent math support in children aged 3-5 years (from several countries in America, Asia, and Europe) and concurrent and longitudinal math outcomes. The (bio)ecological model of human development guided our hypotheses. The design and reporting of this meta-analysis used the…

Laura Galeano; Christine Fawcett; Linda Forssman; Gustaf Gredebäck – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Early childhood educators' math anxiety and its relation to their frequency of pedagogic actions was examined through a questionnaire completed by 352 participants (aged 21-65) representative of the Swedish municipality where the study was conducted. Our sample contained 189 certified preschool teachers and 163 preschool caregivers who…

Deborah Stipek – State Education Standard, 2024
States and school districts endeavoring to improve learning outcomes for young children typically focus on literacy, not math. Math is often overlooked in improvement initiatives, and it gets far less instructional time than literacy in preschool and the early grades. While literacy skills are unquestionably critical, so are math skills. Math…

Keating, Micaela; Harmon, Trina; Arnold, David H. – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
We examined how parent math attitudes and practices relate to emergent math skills in 72 preschoolers from low-income households. Specifically, we investigated parents' views about the importance of math learning, their confidence in teaching math, their perceptions of child interest in math, and their time spent engaging their child in math…

Preschool through third grade (P-3) alignment is regularly named as a key aspect of early childhood education and the transition to formal schooling. However, little is known about P-3 alignment in practice. Using data from 265 observations of math instruction in preschool, kindergarten, first-, and third-grade classrooms in New York City public…

Xin Li; Regena F. Nelson; Jianping Shen – Early Education and Development, 2025
Research Findings: This study illustrated whether and how ecological environments are associated with language-minority students' (N = 12,500) math and reading development from kindergarten to the eighth grade. Results identified the robust effects of preschool type, kindergarten length, classroom activities, parent-child reading, parent…

Mitigate Negative Beliefs about Math: A Different Experience for Children and Teachers in Early Math
Karademir, Abdulhamit; Saatcioglu, Ozkan – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
This study investigated the effect of the use of content-specific material-based activities on children's mathematical skills, and changes in emotions for both sides with the help of math workstations to serve as responsive partners in delivering quality mathematics education to children and teachers. A total of 20 female kindergarten teachers and…

Gürgah Ogul, Irem; Aktas Arnas, Yasare – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2021
Children possess different levels of mathematical skills when they begin their formal education. The home environment perhaps holds the key to such disparate maths skills in children's in early years. The aim of this study is to examine home maths activities and mothers' maths talk as the predictors of children's maths talk and early maths skills.…

Parlakian, Rebecca – ZERO TO THREE, 2023
The learning that happens before school entry provides children with a strong foundation on which to build new conceptual understandings. In particular, mathematical skills predict later math and reading outcomes in elementary school. This article summarizes existing research on equity-based math instructional approaches and provides a rationale…

Differences in children's mathematics knowledge are evident at kindergarten entry, favoring children who have greater access to economic resources. Fostering preschoolers' mathematics learning at home and in classroom settings, through games and other developmentally appropriate activities, is of great interest to educators, early childhood…

Kylie Flynn; Alice Klein; Jaime Thomas; Ruchita Patel; Sierra Eisen – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: Early math knowledge is the strongest predictor of later academic achievement (Duncan et al., 2007), but math achievement gaps that are present during preschool prior to kindergarten entry (Starkey & Klein, 2008) persist in elementary school. This is especially true for young children who are very low-performing in math relative to…

Vi-Nhuan Le; Diana Schaack; Michael Gottfried – Elementary School Journal, 2024
There is currently a debate as to whether academic content at kindergarten crowds out time spent in creative arts, free play, and physical activity. Analyzing kindergarten teachers' reports of their instruction from the ECLS-K:2011, this study examined whether core academic content or advanced academic content in math or English language arts…

The present study examined the relations between two aspects of peer experiences in preschool classrooms and children's math and literacy development during kindergarten transition. Based on the theoretical framework of classroom ecology model, peer experiences were represented by classroom social network and teachers' grouping preferences. The…
