Previous studies have emphasised that play can promote children's learning of mathematics. However, little research has been directed towards understanding how collective imaginary play motivates children's mathematical learning. Informed by the cultural-historical conception of play and motives, this paper examines how Conceptual PlayWorld (CPW)…

Ruiz, Carola; Kohnen, Saskia; Bull, Rebecca – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
There is ongoing debate regarding what performance on the number line estimation task represents and its role in mathematics learning. The patterns followed by children's estimates on the number line task could provide insight into this. This study investigates children's estimation patterns on the number line task and assesses whether mathematics…

Sierra Eisen; Jessica Taggart; Angeline S. Lillard – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Children's storybooks often contain fantasy elements, from dragons and wizards to anthropomorphic animals that wear clothes, talk, and behave like humans. These elements can impact children's learning from storybooks both positively and negatively, perhaps due in part to their ability to capture children's interest and attention. Prior research…
