Individual Differences in Early Numeracy

Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
In this study, the question was raised how basic cognitive processes are related to math abilities and how it can be best determined which children are at risk for developing those disabilities. The role of four distinct basic processes in the development of early mathematics was investigated: executive functions, fluid intelligence, subitizing, and ...

Early numeracy in low‐performing young children

British Educational Research Journal, 2009
The aim of this study was to explore the early numeracy of low‐performing young children. The mean age of the children was six years and four months. The 511 participants belonged to three groups: multi‐language children, children with special educational needs and children with average performance.

Early numeracy

2018
Because of a greater need to focus on early achievement in mathematics and increased global competition in this area, emphasis is increasingly being placed upon screening and monitoring of math development in early elementary to ensure progress for all students.

Promoting early abstraction to promote early literacy and numeracy

Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2009
A learning-set procedure was used to teach the oddity principle, insertions into series, and number conservation to 85 kindergarten children who did not grasp these abstractions. Control groups were given lessons in kindergarten literacy, numeracy, or art in sessions matched in timing and extent.

Early home numeracy activities and later mathematics achievement: early numeracy, interest, and self-efficacy as mediators

Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
Parents are their children’s most influential educators, and their joint activities can influence these children’s early learning. Past studies with small, non-representative samples do not show a consistent link between early numeracy activities at home and children’s mathematics achievement.

Early childhood numeracy in a multiage setting

Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2005
This research is a case study examining numeracy teaching and learning practices in an early childhood multiage setting with Pre-Primary to Year 2 children. Data were collected via running records, researcher reflection notes, and video and audio recordings.

Visuospatial working memory and early numeracy

Educational and Child Psychology, 2003
AbstractThe present study investigated the relationship between visuospatial working memory (VSWM) capacity, mental rotation, general intelligence and early numeracy in preschoolers. Age-appropriate cognitive tasks benefiting cover stories were developed. The early numeracy test (ENT) was used to assess mathematical preskills. The total score was split

The Cognitive Foundations of Early Childhood Numeracy

2022
This chapter provides an overview of the challenges facing young children as they acquire early number concepts, and the power of domain general processes to support this learning. Four specific domain general cognitive processes are reviewed—statistical learning, structure mapping, language acquisition, and spatial cognition.

Early literacy programme as support for immigrant children and as transfer to early numeracy

Early Child Development and Care, 2017
ABSTRACTWe researched the efficacy of an early literacy programme in enhancing immigrant children’s phonological awareness (PA) and print knowledge, including transferring learning to numeracy. Participants were 294 Ethiopian-born immigrant children in Israel at kindergarten age and one of their parents.

The early development of literacy and numeracy skills

European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 1994
SUMMARY This paper presents data on the knowledge and beliefs about reading and number seen in a sample of children followed through their last year of nursery school. The data showed that children of this age have beliefs and goals concerning reading and number which are very different to those of adults but that their emergent literacy interacts with
