- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 project grant to support integrating rational number sense from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. The grant will fund work to develop students' understanding and ability to apply rational numbers. Over the two-year period, the grantee will research how instructional methods...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $319,382 Project Grant under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Kent State University. The award aims to improve 4th-6th grade students' self-regulated learning and fraction knowledge through a research study. The project will evaluate the impact of metacognitive training strategies, where students learn to assess their own understanding, on fraction learning, transfer of knowledge, and self-awareness of what they know and don't know....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $150,935 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the STEM Education federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to support research examining middle school students' understanding of graphical representations. Over a three-year period from June 2022 to May 2025, the University of Delaware will leverage a design-based methodology involving clinical interviews and small-scale teaching experiments to advance knowledge of how middle school students develop...
- 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 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 (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 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 $258,562 project grant was awarded to Rutgers, The State University by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The project aims to improve student learning outcomes in university mathematics courses by collaboratively developing and implementing evidence-based active learning pedagogy between mathematicians and mathematics educators. The research team will study why...
- This $385,799 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research and educational activities through August 2024 under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The University of Delaware will leverage educational data mining to understand how undergraduate computer science students regulate learning and draw on motivational resources. Initial findings aim to inform a just-in-time learning intervention to improve study patterns. The project also seeks to increase participation of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to help schools better integrate fraction concepts into the primary mathematics curriculum in grades 1 and 2. The $1,223,182 project, awarded on September 15, 2025, will be conducted by the University of Delaware and run through August 31, 2028. The work will study how fraction-related activities appear in early grade mathematics and develop approaches to support students' learning of fractional quantities alongside whole numbers. The research will enhance understanding of early mathematical cognition, particularly regarding non-integer quantities, by analyzing textbooks, interviewing teachers, and conducting a longitudinal study with an experiment on the impact of fraction learning activities. The findings will contribute to describing the current state of fraction-related learning in the early grades and develop meaningful approaches for teaching fraction concepts.
