Relational quantitative reasoning in kindergarten predicts mathematical achievement in third grade

Tiers of intervention in kindergarten through third grade.

This study measured the effects of increasing levels of intervention in reading for a cohort of children in Grades K through 3 to determine whether the severity of reading disability (RD) could be significantly reduced in the catchment schools. Tier 1 consisted of professional development for teachers of reading. The focus of this study is on additional instruction that was provided as early as...

Understanding the Role of Reasoning ability in Mathematical Achievement

A theoretical link between reasoning and mathematical ability has been supported by some recent empirical evidence. We argue that some of this evidence is indirect and measure selection may have influenced this relationship. We report one study in which mathematical ability was measured using a fluency and a calculation measure (Wood-cock Johnson-III, 2001) and reasoning ability was measured us...
