Although many US children can count sets by 4 years, it is not until 5½-6 years that they understand how counting relates to number - i.e., that adding 1 to a set necessitates counting up one number. This study examined two knowledge sources that 3½-6-year-olds (N = 136) may leverage to acquire this “successor function”: (1) mastery of productive rules governing count list generation; and (2) training with “+1” math facts. Both productive counting and “+1” math facts were related to understanding that adding 1 to sets entails counting up one number in the count list; however, even children with robust successor knowledge struggled with its arithmetic expression, suggesting they do not generalize the successor function from “+1” math facts.

Groupitizing – the ability to take advantage of grouping cues to rapidly enumerate sets that otherwise require serial counting – is linked to conceptual aspects of numbers (accessing the cardinality of subgroups) and math (combining the subgroups values) that rapidly emerge during the first years of schooling (Starkey & McCandliss, 2014). Little else is known about its broader role in mathematical development. This study followed the development of groupitizing skill from late childhood through early adolescence (N = 1,209), revealing a pattern of progressive development over these critical years for math achievement. Individual differences were highly predictive of global math achievement from 3rd to 8th grade, above and beyond socioeconomic and cognitive (domain-general and math-specific) predictors. Experimental manipulations of item grouping cues (number of subgroups, numerical composition of subgroups) lead to similar effects that manipulations of operands have on symbolic mathematical reasoning, corroborating the view that groupitizing draws upon the same conceptual processes as symbolic math even in the absence of well-learned symbolic retrieval cues. Finally, we show that groupitizing provides new cognitive insights into the nature of the socioeconomic status achievement gap, which cannot be fully explained by familiarity with specific symbolic math facts learned in school but rather suggest inequities in educational opportunities that promote flexible mastery of conceptual processes. Taken together, groupitizing – as a non-symbolic assessment of conceptual processes in mathematics – could be a critical tool in implicitly assessing math ability.

<p>DI flashcards have been proven be improve student performance in a wide range of subject matter-areas. Students with memory issues may well benefit from being taught with DI flashcards. Employing a count-by series has been employed by classroom teachers to teach multiplication. Count-bys can provide students an easy transition from addition to multiplication. This project implemented DI flashcards with a count by series to improve the performance of a single elementary school student having difficulty in math. These two procedures were evaluated in an ABABCB single case design. The results indicated that our participant’s performance increased when these two procedures were combined. Finally generalization was carried out with new math facts. When DI flashcards and the count by series charts were again employed with his new math facts, his performance quickly increased. Suggestions for future research employing DI flashcards and generalization of treatment outcomes were also provided.</p>
