En studie om testing av yngre elever viser at selv 2-3 ganske tøffe mattetester i tidlig skolealder, ikke betydde noe – hverken for hvordan elevene trivdes på skolen senere eller hvordan de presterte på nasjonale prøver i regning.

Undervisning som låter elever i förskoleklass öva på att snabbt bestämma antal gynnar deras förståelse för hur antal och tal kan sättas samman och delas upp, visar Catarina Wästerlid i en ny avhandling.

Tänk dig att du går i skolan och ska göra din matteläxa. Du slår upp boken – vilka känslor känner du, och hur påverkar de din prestation? Johan Korhonen har ägnat en stor del av sin forskarkarriär åt att förstå vilka faktorer som påverkar matematiklärande hos barn och unga. I oktober installeras han som professor…

Børn lærer matematik ved at tænke matematisk, og her spiller åbne og nysgerrige dialoger om tal, figurer og mønstre i hverdagen en afgørende rolle. Det viser en ph.d. om matematisk opmærksomhed i børnehaveklassen – den første af sin art i Danmark.

Secondary students in who have strong learning-oriented internet usage have higher math scores than those who have strong entertainment- or social-oriented usage, according to a study from Beijing Normal University that used 2022 Program for International Student Assessment results from China, where various policies now address minors' internet usage.

WestEd researchers Kylie Flynn and Ashli-Ann Douglas say early-childhood educators who feel more confident teaching math will spend more time on the subject, and they note that resources like "Pre-K Mathematics" can help supplement curricula for 3- to 5 1/2-year-olds.

Although there are often calls for teachers to gain professional digital competency so they can provide appropriate experiences to the coming generations, there have been few insights about what knowledge and skills are needed by early childhood teachers, especially when engaging children with mathematics. In this article, the six areas of professional digital competency, outlined…

Nearly four in 10 eighth graders scored below “basic” on the Nation’s Report Card, reaching historic lows. Fortunately, the math crisis is perhaps “one of the most fixable” issues in American education, new research suggests.

"Når du spør elevene hva de kan gjøre med matematikken, får du tomme blikk".

Previous research has stressed the importance of a good understanding of mathematical equivalence. However, despite decades of research, we still do not know to what degree the theory of operational understanding can explain errors. In this paper, children’s understanding of mathematical equivalence is studied using answers (n = 1608) and written solutions (n = 340) to a large-scale test.…

Math self-efficacy and test anxiety represent key aspects of motivation that play a crucial role in student learning, yet they are often studied separately. This study investigated (i) the relationships between math self-efficacy, test anxiety, and performance, and (ii) whether these were predicted by the teaching condition (co-teaching vs. solo-teaching).
