This Project Grant award of $705,997 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to test the impacts of two family-based math intervention programs on improving preschoolers' math skills. The "Math Made 4 Me" and "Math Made 4 Me Plus" interventions are designed to increase family math engagement and support children's math development through tailored activities integrated into typical family routines. The project will evaluate...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $603,043 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Illinois for the "Math Partners: Collaborations to Support Early Math Learning" project. The project aims to help teachers and families build strong partnerships to support early math learning for young children. The grant will fund teacher professional development, classroom design teams, and family engagement practices focused on centering...
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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources, will fund research examining family engagement in early math education and developing interventions to promote such engagement, especially for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. With $300,000 in funding provided over two years from October 2022 to September 2024, the Trustees of Boston College will conduct focus groups and naturalistic observations of family...
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...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,098,240 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The purpose of this five-year project, running from May 2024 to April 2029, is to advance the understanding of the relationship between brain development and the acquisition of numeracy skills in early childhood. The project will use a combination of electrophysiological (ERP) and optical (fNIRS) brain imaging techniques to longitudinally track...
This $100,055 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The award aims to investigate the impact of parent-child interactions on the spatial skills and STEM motivation of first and second grade students. The research, led by a team at Temple University, will: 1) Identify specific aspects of parent-child interactions that predict children's spatial skills and STEM learning/motivation, 2) Establish causal relationships...
This $750,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve mathematics education for pre-service K-8 teachers at Arizona State University. The project will integrate visual computing technology and the engineering design process into an upper-division mathematics methods course, engaging approximately 180 pre-service teachers per year. Research will study the effectiveness of this interdisciplinary approach in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to uncover the core cognitive underpinnings of children's ability to learn and reason about arithmetic and probability across cultures with differential exposure to mathematics education. With $932,679 in funding from September 2024 to August 2029, the project will first characterize indigenous methods for arithmetic and then test Tsimane' children's understanding of...
