Algebra I is a crucial course for middle and high school students for successful STEM-related coursework. A key issue is whether students should take Algebra I in Grade 8 versus Grade 9. Large-scale policy studies show conflicting results, and there are few (particularly longitudinal) individual difference studies. In the study, 53 students were…

Mix, Kelly S.; Levine, Susan C.; Cheng, Yi-Ling; Young, Christopher J.; Hambrick, David Z.; Konstantopoulos, Spyros – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
In a previous study, Mix et al. (2016) reported that spatial skill and mathematics were composed of 2 highly correlated, domain-specific factors, with a few cross-domain loadings. The overall structure was consistent across grade (kindergarten, 3rd grade, 6th grade), but the cross-domain loadings varied with age. The present study sought to…

Andersson, Ulf; Ostergren, Rickard – Learning and Individual Differences, 2012
The study sought out to extend our knowledge regarding the origin of mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) in children by testing different hypotheses in the same samples of children. Different aspects of cognitive functions and number processing were assessed in fifth- and sixth-graders (11-13 years old) with MLD and compared to controls. The…

Budak, Ibrahim; Kaygin, Bulent – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
In this study, through the observation of mathematically promising students in regular classrooms, relevant learning environments and the learning needs of promising students, teacher approaches and teaching methods, and the differences between the promising students and their normal ability peers in the same classroom were investigated.…

Sapire, Ingrid; Sorto, M. Alejandra – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2012
This study focuses on quantifying the quality of mathematics teaching in 183 randomly selected sixth grade classrooms: 100 from the North West province of South Africa and 83 from South East Botswana. The teaching quality is measured by coding videotaped lessons for three different components: mathematical proficiency, level of cognitive demand,…

Lin, Chuan-Ju; Hung, Pi-Hsia; Lin, Su-Wei; Lin, Bor-Hung; Lin, Fou-Lai – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2009
The teaching and learning of mathematics in schools has drawn tremendous attention since the education reform in Taiwan. In addition to assessing cognitive abilities, Taiwan Assessment of Student Achievement in Mathematics (TASA-MAT) collects background information to help depict average student achievement in schools in an educational context.…

Elia, Iliada; Philippou, George – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
In the present study, we assert that pictures serve four functions in problem solving: decorative, representational, organizational and informational. We, therefore, investigate the effects of pictures based on their functions in mathematical problem solving (MPS), by high achievement students of Grade 6 in Cyprus, in a communication setting. A…

Peer reviewedJames, Michael A.; Knief, Lotus M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1978
Sixth-grade students were measured on fluid and crystallized ability, given instructions stressing one of the abilities, and pre- and posttested on a mathematical concept. Results suggest that students with lower general ability benefit most by instruction focused on fluid ability, and students with higher general ability by instruction focused on…
