The National Science Foundation awarded a $554,710 project grant to Trustees of Boston College under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to conduct collaborative research on early number development from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2026. The research will involve over 3,000 children aged 2 to 5 years old across 28 U.S. states and 27 countries to investigate how toddlers and preschoolers perceive, reason about, and communicate numbers. Two foundational studies will examine number perception...
The University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) received a $644,611 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop generative language models for personalized tutoring and feedback in mathematics education. Over a five-year period from May 2023 to April 2028, UMass will pursue three research threads. First, UMass will develop open-ended item response theory and knowledge tracing frameworks for mathematics items using generative...
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...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project investigating the conceptual foundations of early number development in toddlers and preschool-aged children. The $546,968 award to Trustees of Indiana University will fund two foundational studies examining how young children perceive quantity, learn number words, and track small groups of objects, as well as...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $937,260 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to study how multi-digit number names and written symbols guide early elementary students' attention, memory, and place value learning. Over three years from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will conduct three experimental studies with kindergarteners using eye-tracking technology, assessments of students' place value knowledge, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a $496,337 research project to assess the malleability and impact of mature number sense among 3rd through 8th grade students. The research team at the University of Notre Dame will study how students' mature number sense - their ability to make sense of numbers, notice patterns, and flexibly select problem-solving strategies - changes over the course of an academic year and...
