Active learners in numeracy: implementing guided play for early numeracy learning

2023
Reception teachers frequently report a tension between the development of children’s academic knowledge and skills and that of the prime areas of learning (communication and language, personal, social and emotional development and physical development). This is particularly pertinent when considering support for children from disadvantaged backgrounds,

Children's early numeracy in Finland and Iran

International Journal of Early Years Education, 2014
This research investigates similarities and differences in young children's early numeracy skills related to age, nationality and gender. The participants were five- to seven-year-old children from Finland and Iran. Early numeracy was investigated by using tasks measuring number-related relational skills (e.g. comparison, one-to-one correspondence) and

Early Numeracy Intervention for Low-Performing Kindergartners

Journal of Early Intervention, 2012
Early numeracy in kindergarten has proven to be a strong predictor of mathematical achievement. The aims of this study were to test the effectiveness of a remedial numeracy program for children who were low performing and to evaluate the role of visual and verbal working memory in the development of numeracy.

The Early Numeracy Test in Finnish: Children's norms

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, 2006
This article concerns psychometric aspects of the Finnish Early Numeracy Test, which has been translated from the original Dutch Early Numeracy Test. The advantage of the test is that young children's numerical skills can be assessed systematically, which was not possible previously in Finland.

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.

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
