Dyson, Nancy I.; Jordan, Nancy C.; Rodrigues, Jessica; Barbieri, Christina; Rinne, Luke – Remedial and Special Education, 2020
The efficacy of a research-based fraction sense intervention for sixth graders with or at risk for mathematics difficulties (N = 52) was examined. The intervention aimed to build understanding of fraction magnitudes on the number line. Key concepts were taught with a narrow range of denominators to develop deep understanding. The intervention was…

Hassinger-Das, Brenna; Jordan, Nancy C.; Dyson, Nancy – Elementary School Journal, 2015
The present study involved examining whether a storybook reading intervention targeting mathematics vocabulary, such as "equal," "more," and "less," and associated number concepts would increase at-risk children's vocabulary knowledge and number competencies. Children with early numeracy difficulties (N = 124) were…

Dyson, Nancy I.; Jordan, Nancy C.; Glutting, Joseph – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
Early number sense is a strong predictor of later success in school mathematics. A disproportionate number of children from low-income families come to first grade with weak number competencies, leaving them at risk for a cycle of failure. The present study examined the effects of an 8-week number sense intervention to develop number competencies…
