Identifying Opportunities for Grade One Children to Acquire Foundational Number Sense: Developing a Framework for Cross Cultural Classroom Analyses (2015, background): “Significantly, it has been shown to be a more robust predictor of later mathematical success than almost any other factor (Aunio and Niemivirta 2010; Byrnes and Wasik 2009).”
Gender Biases in Early Number Exposure to Preschool-Aged Children (2011, background): “For example, in kindergarten, boys have a greater ability to learn math concepts and have higher math competence than girls (Byrnes & Wasik, 2009).”
Understanding the Program Effectiveness of Early Mathematics Interventions for Prekindergarten and Kindergarten Environments: A Meta-Analytic Review (2016, background): “Given how critical the first 5 years of life are in developing children’s early mathematics skills (Byrnes & Wasik, 2009; Duncan et al., 1994; National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Early Child Care Research Network, 2006; Wang et al., 2013), we urge researchers in the field to…”
Decreasing the SES math achievement gap: Initial math proficiency and home learning environments (2015, background): “Consistent with other research (Arnold & Doctoroff, 2003; Byrnes & Wasik, 2009; Jordan et al., 2006), we found a significant association between SES and children’s math scores at the end of kindergarten.”
Academic Content, Student Learning, and the Persistence of Preschool Effects (2014, unknown): “…of reading and mathematics instructional practices and content in the earliest years of Academic Content and Student Achievement school (Bodovski & Farkas, 2007; Byrnes & Wasik, 2009; Engel, Claessens, & Finch, 2013; Guarino, Hamilton, Lockwood, Rathbun, & Hausken, 2006; Xue & Meisels, 2004).”
Race/Ethnicity and Early Mathematics Skills: Relations Between Home, Classroom, and Mathematics Achievement (2015, background): “The study reflects suggestions by Byrnes and Wasik (2009) of the importance of investigating children’s mathematics skill development within the broad context of their initial mathematics skills and learning opportunities at home and school.”
