Centre for Numeracy Development and Learning

@SaskiaKohnen from @PsyMQ and @carolaruizh from @MQEducation at @Macquarie_Uni are running a pilot study on a numeracy assessment battery. They are looking for children in Year 1. Details of the study appear below

Do you know a child in Year 1 in NSW? We are conducting a study to pilot the Macquarie University Numeracy Assessment Battery (MUNA). We are looking for children who live in NSW and are in Year 1. If you are interested, please visit bit.ly/3onzcyz Feel free to share!!

The authors discuss their findings in light of previous literature and their possible implications.

Accuracy on both the 0-10 and 0-100 number line tasks were significantly associated with mathematical reasoning across all quantiles assessed (10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th), with no significant differences found between quantiles.

Today we share "The relationship between number line estimation and mathematical reasoning: a quantile regression approach" by @carolaruizh , @SaskiaKohnen & @RebeccaBull3 You can find the full text here: doi.org/10.1007/s10212…

@MqNumeracy is today (Sat) sharing some of its work in #SRCD23. You can find "Number line estimation patterns in children at risk of mathematics learning difficulties" by @carolaruizh, @SaskiaKohnen, David Muñez, & @RebeccaBull3 during poster session 18 at 12.30. Poster #18

Moving forward he suggests the need to consider other actors: grandparents, siblings & other caregivers. As well as how children themselves impact the home math environment

During the discussion, David Purpura highlights that the studies represent multiple countries, constructs and age-ranges, which moves the field forward in understanding what is shared and what is unique to the home math environment around the world

Friday at #SRCD23 is off to a great start with the symposium titled “Parental math involvement and children’s math skills: international perspectives”

Borriello & cols presented their work on differences in the type of speech and gestures that children and adults use when explaining why their pattern is the same as the model pattern they were given

Lu & cols presented their work on how different manipulations of play material (i.e., setting, quantity of similar toys) impacts parents’ math talk

Excellent “Talking about numbers”session at #SRCD23 today
