Check it out! A large RCT demonstrated the efficacy of our intervention to improve children's understanding of math equivalence. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108… Materials and videos are freely available (see below):

All intervention materials and videos are freely available: icue.nd.edu Thanks to @ACEatND for creating videos of the 4 components: 1) introducing = before arithmetic, 2) nontraditional arithmetic practice, 3) concreteness fading, and 4) comparison and explanation

“Having someone at the center who is able to sign with Bennett has made a huge impact on his life.” - Sheree Andrews, Bennett's mom. 🫶 The @VT_HDFS Child Development Center for Learning and Research offers amazing opportunities for parents and students. news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…


Members of the Learning and Development Lab contributed to the co-design of the Our Math World curriculum materials. We are so excited to see this compilation of our work for the past 3 years alongside other projects also funded by @aerdf's EF+Math program!

Excited to share this video featuring the Our Math World project I lead (funded by @aerdf). We co-designed a curriculum overlay with educators and students that builds math identity, executive function, problem solving, and math vocabulary skills. vimeo.com/856210965?fbcl…

New pub! We found that children who had higher relational thinking skills in kindergarten had a better understanding of the equal sign by second grade than their peers with lower relational thinking skills in kindergarten. Check out the public pre-proof in the thread below:
