Remedial Work

The Plus Program was designed to provide a maximum amount of remedial work in reading and mathematics for elementary school children in target areas. A staff of skilled teachers was employed to provide students with additional small-group and individual instruction in specific areas of difficulty during the regular school day.

iSTEM: Integrating Science Technology Engineering in the Mathematics authors share ideas and activities that stimulate student interest in the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in K'grade 6 classrooms. In this month's lesson, elementary school children in the primary grades learn to create symmetrical structures using wooden blocks. Student interviews and an observational rubric are used to assess the children. Extensions for intermediate elementary grades are provided.

School Day

As a mathematics educator at a midsized public university, I have taught hundreds of undergraduate elementary education majors how to teach mathematics to elementary school children. When I first started teaching mathematics methods, I struggled with how to give my students the opportunity to actually practice teaching mathematics to children. College campuses generally do not have accessible populations of elementary school children whom preservice teachers can practice on. And even if I could persuade a local school to host my students for some practice teaching during the school day, college class periods are too short to allow for field trips to local schools. Eventually I decided to have my students teach mathematics lessons to one another during my class time, but it was not the same as having them teach children.

School Day

Purpose: Schools provide opportunities for children to accumulate recommended daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). This study aimed to determine physical activity (PA) across the school day among elementary school children in Qatar. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 181 Grade 1 (5.8 ± 0.4 years) and Grade 4 (9.0 ± 0.5 years) children. Participants wore wrist-based accelerometers for 5 days to assess school-based PA. MVPA during physical education, recess, and class time were compared across sex, grade, and body mass index using general linear models. Results: Only 39.0% of this cohort met the recommended 30 min of MVPA during school hours. Fewer girls (23.2%) than boys (58.1%) achieved the school-based PA guidelines (p < .001). The children engaged in 19.0 ± 12.3%, 19.3 ± 8.6%, and 6.2 ± 3.4% of the designated physical education, recess, and class time in MVPA, respectively. Conclusion: Elementary school children in Qatar engage in inadequate MVPA during the school day, especially girls. Enhancing PA opportunities during physical education and recess is crucial.

Single Medium

Research has shown that educational media, such as television series or interactive games, can promote significant learning. However, it is quite common for producers to create several interconnected media, such as a television show and an associated web site, under the assumption that multiple platforms elicit greater learning than a single medium would. The research reported in this paper uses Cyberchase media as the setting in which to investigate the effectiveness of multiple media as a tool for mathematical learning for elementary school children. The study includes both a naturalistic phase, which mirrors children’s typical use of the media, and an experimental phase, which allows for causal inference to be drawn about their learning outcomes.

Background:The benefits of physical fitness are widely acknowledged and extend across many domains of wellness. The association between fitness and academic achievement, however, remains to be clarified, especially in young children. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between fitness and academic achievement in elementary school children.Methods:Data were collected from 134 third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade children. One-mile run time, body mass index, curl-up, and sit-and-reach data were collected from physical education instructors in Middle Tennessee. The percentage of questions answered correctly for the mathematics and reading/language arts sections of the Terra-Nova achievement test was taken as a measure of academic achievement.Results:A negative association (P < .01) was noted between 1-mile run times and mathematics scores (r = –.28), whereas a positive relationship (P < .05) was observed between muscular fitness and mathematics scores (r = .20). Relative to sex differences, inverse relationships (P < .05) were observed between 1-mile run times and reading/language arts and mathematics scores in girls (r = –.31 and –.36, respectively), but no significant associations were evident in boys.Conclusions:Results from this study support a link between specific components of physical fitness and academic achievement in elementary school children.

Comparison of scores obtained from 184 Ss in Grades 4 through 6 on Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, Verbal and Nonverbal, Form A and Seeing Through Arithmetic Tests produced significant correlations of small to moderate magnitude between verbal originality and mathematics ( rs = .23 to .43, df = 183).

The progress in arithmetic learning of elementary-school children has always been of concern to teachers, parents, and the lay public. The recent crash program in the sciences has led to even greater interest in children's arithmetic achievement. Our colleges and universities have also been demanding a science- and mathematics-orientated student.
