    Development of children's number line estimation in primary school: Regional and curricular influences
    (Elsevier Science Inc., 2023) Xu, Chang; Burr, Sabrina Di Lonardo; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Osana, Helena P.; Maloney, Erin A.; Wylie, Judith; Simms, Victoria; Susperreguy Jorquera, Maria Inés; Douglas, Heather; Lafay, Anne
    Is the development of number line estimation (NLE) similar across regions? Data from Canada (Quebec, n = 67, Mage = 7.9 years; Manitoba, n = 177, Mage = 7.8 years), Chile (n = 81, Mage = 7.9 years), and Northern Ireland (n = 171, Mage = 7.3 years) were analyzed. Twice, approxi-mately one year apart, students completed a 0-1000 NLE task and other mathematical tasks. Using latent profile analysis, students' estimates were classified as belonging to either a uniform or variable profile. At Time 1, estimation accuracy differed across regions, but at Time 2, patterns of performance were similar. Regional variations in improvements were related to curricular de-mands. Moreover, mini meta-analyses of the associations between NLE and other mathematical tasks revealed medium effect sizes. Overall, the NLE task can provide insights into concurrent and longitudinal mathematics achievement, but educational experiences should be considered when comparing performance across regions.

    Early symbolic numeracy and gross, fine, and perceptual-motor skills in Mexican preschool children
    (Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física-FEADEF, 2024) JImenez Lira, Carolina; Benavides Pando, Elia Verónica; Paz Garcia, Daniela Susana; Susperreguy Jorquera, Maria Inés; Palma Gardea, Lucia Consepcion; Mondaca Fernández, Fernando
    The relation between early numeracy and motor skills has previously been examined, however, different results have been obtained depending on whether gross, fine, or perceptual-motor skills were considered in the study and the numeracy outcomes that were analyzed. The goal of the present research was to examine the relation between preschool children's performance on two assess-ments of symbolic numeracy and gross, fine, and perceptual-motor skills. A total of one-hundred-and-twenty-three Mexican preschool children were assessed on their gross, fine, and perceptual-motor skills, their numeracy skills (i.e., applied problem-solving and sym-bolic number comparison) their numeracy precursor skills (i.e., number identification, cardinality and verbal counting), inhibitory control and visual-spatial working memory. Results from hierarchical linear regressions showed that applied problem-solving was pre-dicted only by children's numeracy precursor skills while the ability to compare two symbolic numbers was significantly predicted only by perceptual-motor skills. The study highlights the importance of perceptual-motor skills to children's early numeracy learning.

    Kindergarten children’s math anxiety and its relationship with mathematical performance
    (2023) del Río, María Francisca; Susperreguy Jorquera, Maria Inés; Morales, María Francisca; Peake, Christian; Angulo, Macarena
    There is limited evidence on the occurrence of math anxiety among kindergarten children. This study sought to measure the occurrence of math anxiety in this group by adapting a math anxiety scale to Chilean children and evaluating the association between math anxiety and mathematical performance. The sample included 124 kindergarten children (age M = 5.69) enrolled in Chilean public schools. The results confirmed the two-factor structure of the original scale (worry and somatization). Notably, outcomes pertaining to math anxiety did not show gender differences or an association with math self-concept. A multiple regression analysis revealed that math anxiety is a significant predictor of mathematical skills, even after controlling for gender, age and math self-concept. These results underscore the significance of tackling math anxiety during early education to foster early mathematical learning in children.
