Effectiveness of using structured aids in learning number concepts for middle primary school children
… material for the teaching and learning of number concepts and of operations in middle primary school. Blockaid is base 10 material designed to model number in multiple representations. The different representations facilitate the modelling of procedures which follow the same steps of the …

A developmental case study : implementing the theory of realistic mathematics education with low attainers
… mathematics classes, by revisiting the key number concepts of place value, fractions and decimals. In doing so, a second purpose was to investigate the viability and emerging characteristics of an intervention based on the theory of RME in such a setting (i.e. with low attainers to revisit …

Teaching Mental Abacus Calculation to Students With Mental Retardation
… mental abacus training performed better on number concepts, computation, and some application and problem solving skills than those who were taught using a conventional math curriculum. No significant differences were found in students' measuring abilities and geometric concepts. Students' …

Executive Function and Early Numeracy in Preschoolers: Can Training Help?
… assigned to one of four conditions: EF training, number training, EF + number training or an active control condition and participated in three training sessions as well as pre and post test sessions measuring their EF and math abilities. Results indicated a significant positive effect of training …

Exploring cultural loading in the cognitive assessment of preschoolers : item analysis of the DAS-II and WPPSI-IV
… (p < .05), Matrices (p < .001), and Early Number Concepts (p < .05) subtests were identified as displaying DIF for all demographic variables. Specific cultural groups disfavored by DIF were varied based on the individual item. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research …

Teachers' perceptions of whole number acquisition and associated pedagogy in the foundation phase
… regarding the ways in which young children learn number concepts. The motivation for this study is based on my experience with primary school teachers through the University of Cape Town's Schools Development Unit and my background in Foundation Phase mathematics learning and teaching. The purpose …

A study of the computations done by grade 9 learners in a Western Cape high school when simplifying algebraic expressions involving the negative symbol
… education highlights symbol sense and negative number concepts as persistent difficulties in learning algebra and categorises learners' errors, but it is wanting in explanations of learners' computations and how they might relate to the way learners think. This study identifies, describes and …
