Yeo, Sheunghyun; Shim, Hyejin; Hwang, Sunghwan; Campbell, Tye G. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Mathematics growth trajectory plays a significant role to predict future outcomes and careers. We examined the existence of different growth trajectories in mathematics during the late elementary-school period (from Grades 4 to 6) and the relationship between the trajectory group classification and later mathematics achievement (Grade 8). Then,…

Although whole number bias appears early in the fraction learning process…
