Running head: BOARD GAMES AND NUMERICAL KNOWLEDGE in press, Journal of Educational Psychology Playing Linear Number Board Games – But Not Circular Ones – Improves Low-Income Preschoolers’ Numerical Understanding
A theoretical analysis of the development of numerical representations indicated that playing linear number board games should enhance preschoolers’ numerical knowledge and ability to acquire new numerical knowledge. The effect on knowledge of numerical magnitudes was predicted to be larger when the game was played with a linear board than with a circular one, due to a more direct mapping betwe...
متن کاملPlaying linear numerical board games promotes low-income children's numerical development.
The numerical knowledge of children from low-income backgrounds trails behind that of peers from middle-income backgrounds even before the children enter school. This gap may reflect differing prior experience with informal numerical activities, such as numerical board games. Experiment 1 indicated that the numerical magnitude knowledge of preschoolers from low-income families lagged behind tha...
متن کاملPromoting broad and stable improvements in low-income children's numerical knowledge through playing number board games.
Theoretical analyses of the development of numerical representations suggest that playing linear number board games should enhance young children's numerical knowledge. Consistent with this prediction, playing such a game for roughly 1 hr increased low-income preschoolers' (mean age = 5.4 years) proficiency on 4 diverse numerical tasks: numerical magnitude comparison, number line estimation, co...

متن کاملTaking It to the Classroom: Number Board Games as a Small Group Learning Activity
We examined whether a theoretically based number board game could be translated into a practical classroom activity that improves Head Start children’s numerical knowledge. Playing the number board game as a small group learning activity promoted low-income children’s number line estimation, magnitude comparison, numeral identification, and counting. Improvements were also found when a paraprof...
