The University of California, San Diego will conduct a multi-year, multi-site collaborative research project on early childhood numeracy development under a $1.165 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076).
The research will involve over 130 sites testing more than 3,000 children ages 2 to 5 years old across the United States and 27 other countries. Two foundational studies will examine how young children perceive and learn about quantity, numbers, and counting. An additional set of exploratory studies will investigate links between early numeracy and factors such as social cognition, language diversity, executive function abilities, and cross-cultural differences in mathematics education. All data and findings will be shared with the scientific community and presented to the public via a project website. The grant period runs from July 2022 through June 2026.
