Viviane Durand-Guerrier – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Understanding the concept of completeness for an ordered field is known to be difficult for many university mathematics students. We hypothesise that the variety of possible axioms of completeness for the set of real numbers is one of the sources of difficulties as is the lack of understanding of the "raison d'être" of these axioms. In…

Pickering, Jayne; Adelman, James S.; Inglis, Matthew – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Previous research suggests that the Approximate Number System (ANS) allows people to approximate the cardinality of a set. This ability to discern numerical quantities may explain how meaning becomes associated with number symbols. However, recently it has been argued that ANS representations are not directly numerical, but rather are formed by…

Sari, Mehmet Hayri; Szczygiel, Monika – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Although interest in mathematics anxiety in young children (6-11 years) has increased recently, the results of previous studies on the role of mathematics anxiety in the relationship between number sense and math performance are inconsistent. The study's main objective was to establish whether math anxiety is a mediator or a moderator in the…

Basil Conway IV; Marjorie Mitchell – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
This article describes students learning to build their own numbering system by recognizing and identifying patterns with interlocking cubes in different place values. The students used the Egyptian hieroglyphic numeral system in conjunction with this activity to connect learning in other subjects. Students used prior knowledge of place value to…

Thomas De Vittori – Discover Education, 2022
This paper reports on an experiment involving 108 sixth-grade French students in which the history of Chinese numeration was used in mathematics education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relevance of using ancient number systems in mathematics education, which is common in French textbooks. In the experiment a pre-test with usual…

Whitacre, Ian; Henning, Bonnie; Ataba?, ?ebnem – Review of Educational Research, 2020
In this article, we review research literature concerning number sense from several related fields. Whereas other authors have pointed to difficulty defining number sense or to some degree of inconsistency in the literature, we argue instead that this is a case of polysemy: three constructs given the same name. Our purpose is to clarify the…

Cleland, Alexandra A.; Bull, Rebecca – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Generally, people respond faster to small numbers with left-sided responses and large numbers with right-sided responses, a pattern known as the SNARC (spatial numerical association of response codes) effect. The SNARC effect is interpreted as evidence for amodal automatic access of magnitude and its spatial associations, because it occurs in…

Ulrich, Catherine; Norton, Anderson – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Psychological studies of early numerical development fill a void in mathematics education research. However, conflations between magnitude awareness and number, and over-attributions of researcher conceptions to children, have led to psychological models that are at odds with findings from mathematics educators on later numerical development. In…

Wetherell, Chris – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2017
This is an edited extract from the keynote address given by Dr. Chris Wetherell at the 26th Biennial Conference of the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers Inc. The author investigates the surprisingly rich structure that exists within a simple arrangement of numbers: the times tables.

Thanheiser, Eva; Melhuish, Kathleen – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Prospective elementary school teachers (PTs) come to their mathematics courses fluent in using procedures for adding and subtracting multidigit whole numbers, but many are unaware of the essential features inherent in understanding the base-ten place-value system (i.e., grouping, place value, base). Understanding these features is crucial to…

Abd-Elhameed, W. M.; Zeyada, N. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This paper is concerned with developing a new class of generalized numbers. The main advantage of this class is that it generalizes the two classes of generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized Pell numbers. Some new identities involving these generalized numbers are obtained. In addition, the two well-known identities of Sury and Marques which…

Gersten, Russell; Schumacher, Robin F.; Jordan, Nancy C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Magnitude understanding is critical for students to develop a deep understanding of fractions and more advanced mathematics curriculum. The research reports in this special issue underscore magnitude understanding for fractions and emphasize number lines as both an assessment and an instructional tool. In this commentary, we discuss how number…

Spelke, Elizabeth S. – Language Learning and Development, 2017
The natural numbers may be our simplest, most useful, and best-studied abstract concepts, but their origins are debated. I consider this debate in the context of the proposal, by Gallistel and Gelman, that natural number system is a product of cognitive evolution and the proposal, by Carey, that it is a product of human cultural history. I offer a…

We review research literature concerning "number sense" from several related fields. Whereas other authors have pointed to difficulty defining "number sense" or to some degree of inconsistency in the literature, we argue instead that this is a case of polysemy: There are 3 different constructs that go by the same name.

Berch, Daniel B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
In this commentary, I examine some of the distinctive, foundational difficulties in learning fractions and other types of rational numbers encountered by students with a mathematical learning disability and how these differ from the struggles experienced by students classified as low achieving in math. I discuss evidence indicating that students…
