Project Grant 2453119
- 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 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 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 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 program (CFDA 47.076) will provide $750,942 to researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) over a period of 3 years starting September 1, 2025. The research aims to investigate how children learn about numbers through non-visual senses, such as touch and sound, particularly for children with varying levels of visual acuity. The project will explore strategies for non-visual number learning and how...
- This $325,000 National Science Foundation project grant to Carnegie Mellon University, funded through the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), will support research examining the neural basis of mathematical cognition in early childhood and potential gender differences. The four-year award beginning September 2022 will fund the collection of longitudinal functional magnetic resonance imaging data and behavioral testing of children ages 4-8, along with tracking...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $226,377 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The project, titled "Vocabulary and Reading Difficulties in Preschool and 1st Grade and Their Consequences for Mathematics and Science Achievement in 1st-5th Grade," will analyze two national longitudinal datasets to investigate the...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,796,454.00 to New York University (NYU) to investigate how toddlers' everyday interactions and home environments support the development of early math cognition. The project aims to better understand the role of language and math-related materials in shaping toddlers' conceptual understanding of number, shape, size, and location between ages 18 to 30 months. Researchers will video record English- and Mandarin-speaking toddlers and their caregivers during naturalistic and structured play to analyze the frequency, form, and function of caregiver math language, as well as the types of math-related activities and objects in the home environment. This 3-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, seeks to shed light on the sources of individual differences in early math cognition that are foundational for later math achievement.
