Development and Research in Early Math Education (DREME) has great early math activity ideas for teachers to align with their objectives for math content in the classroom. This helpful Activity Directory is categorized by topics, such as measurement, spatial relations, patterns, numbers & counting and more: https://lnkd.in/eP_575_i These activities are suitable for use in any setting with children ages 3-6 years. #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #ece #matheducation

?? From our discussion with Anna Stokke on what it means to strive for equity in education! [00:19:14] Jim Hewitt: "Well, there are many different ways to study equity, but Nidhi and I are focused on academic outcomes. And we find that especially in some topics like mathematics, there can be a huge difference in student ability in a single class. And we want to know, how do you shrink the achievement gap? And what has worked in the past? What can research tell us about this? Part of the problem is that we have to recognize that children start from different places. Some start from a position of disadvantage, and different children will have different needs and some are going to require more supports than others to succeed academically. But a good indicator for us of improved equity would be to see children who are struggling in math, say, to start to succeed and do better and better in math over time. I think we're interested in this because we feel that outcomes are important. Academic success, particularly in a subject like math, opens up all sorts of career opportunities and it improves a person's chances in life. And ultimately, of course, it also produces a healthier, more diverse community. So, we feel it's very important." Jim Hewitt ?? Listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/gQiDKhVu

At GSoLEN, we are committed to sharing peer-reviewed research on the Science of Learning. In this opportunity, we highlight a fascinating article by Professor Susan Goldin-Meadow from the University of Chicago, titled "Taking a Hands-on Approach to Learning." This insightful publication explores how gestures in children's early development can promote growth when they learn language and later in life when they learn about math. It provides practical examples of how gestures can be used by parents and teachers in everyday teaching situations. Gestures are a ubiquitous, naturally produced, and universally accessible tool that adults can use in schools and homes. They have the potential to improve children's development, benefiting not only typically developing children but also those with special needs. Professor Goldin-Meadow's research sheds light on the powerful role gestures can play in enhancing learning and cognitive development. By incorporating gestures into teaching and learning activities, we can create more engaging and effective educational experiences. We invite you to explore this article by accessing the full publication through the link below. https://lnkd.in/gKbaZK_D Stay tuned for more exciting research on effective learning and teaching strategies.

Math can be stressful and anxiety-inducing, especially in young kids. Oftentimes, that fear and uneasiness?turns into animosity towards the very science that governs the laws of this universe. Enter?Why Hate Math?, a mathematics education company geared towards teaching math in a way that eases the stress of learning it. Started by Candace Shaw, Melinda Shaw-Brookins and Nanika Shaw-Brown, three sisters born in Brooklyn and raised in Atlanta, WHM teaches in a way that builds students up and fosters appreciation for mathematics.

The Journal of Public Economics just published the paper of a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) on an online math tutoring program for vulnerable children in Madrid and Catalonia (Spain). A paper that I co-authored with Claudia Hupkau and Antonio Roldan Mones. We are so proud and honored of this whole journey, which started now 3 years ago together with Fundación Empieza Por Educar, a great partner with a team led by Miriam Arriola and Zaida Pillado that tailored and implemented a top-notch student support programme focusing on math and socio-emotional skills. The program took place in 18 lower secondary schools in Madrid and Catalonia with children aged 13-14 years old, during the spring of 2021. The results delivered positive and high effects on math test scores and grades. The program also reduced grade repetition considerably and increased the likelihood to pass the subject. The program also significantly raised aspirations of children. Thanks to all the great team that participated and to all the private organisations supporting the terrific effort, including Fundación Cotec para la Innovación Fundación CEOE Google United Way Espa?a Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR) Santander Edvolution From EsadeEcPol we will continue to foster innovative and policy-relevant programs in education for those most in need through top scientific research. We have shown that this is not only possible, but more necessary than ever.

As money runs out in schools districts across the nation, math is still a problem for many students. Between fall 2019 and 2022, national test scores sank four points in reading and nine points in math for 13-year-olds. While scores have started to improve, researchers at the testing nonprofit NWEA estimated last summer that the average American eighth-grader would still need the equivalent of nine more months of schooling to catch up in #math, compared with seven extra months in reading. https://lnkd.in/gHfFYS2H #reimagineeducation #stem #kidalytics #students #data
