Generating mathematical strategies shows evidence of a serial order effect
This study investigated whether performance on a mathematical strategy-generating task showed evidence for a serial order effect (decreasing fluency but increasing originality and creativity of strategies over time). One-hundred and fifty-five undergraduate students generated as many strategies as they could to solve a three-digit subtraction problem for 8 min, and the resulting strategies were evaluated using fluency and originality indexes that…
Effect of preschool teacher's math anxiety on teaching efficacy and classroom engagement in math
Increasing number of studies have revealed that teacher's math anxiety is related to the use of less effective pedagogical practices, which can lead to reduced math achievement among elementary school students. Children's math experience begins before formal schooling. However, there is limited information about the effect of preschool teachers' math anxiety on math‐related activities. In the current study, 209 in‐service preschool teachers were …
Empowering everyday leaders
Leadership is often conceptualized and taught through famous, world-changing individuals; however, leadership spans levels of influence, from small-group projects to global initiatives. While student leaders are present at every level, existing leadership research and programs center adults. Within this article, Lisa DaVia Rubenstein, Sydney Johnson, Allison Southworth, and Gerardo Ramirez propose the 4L Continuum of Leadership, which recognizes …
Association of Intersectional Anticipated Discrimination with Mental Health Among Immigrant Latinos
Introduction: Anticipating discrimination can lead to increased vigilance, which acts as a potential stressor similar to actual discrimination experiences. However, there is limited understanding of how discrimination and anticipated discrimination affect Latinos with intersecting identities, particularly those who are immigrants. Using a cross-sectional survey, we examine the association between intersectional anticipated discrimination and ment…

Mathematical Creativity in Elementary School Children
Research from the general field of creativity demonstrates that in the realm of problem-solving, breaks from the task at hand, known as incubation breaks, can improve idea generation and creative thinking. This study investigated whether a brief incubation break during a mathematical strategy generation task could improve elementary students’ ability to generate strategies and think more creatively. Over 200 elementary school students (grades 1–5…
Exploring math anxious parents’ emotional experience surrounding math homework-help
The mathematical flexibility of college students
BACKGROUND: Traditional math instruction that emphasizes procedures and rote memorization is common in math classes, particularly within the United States. Students may be able to perform steps and recite information, but flexible thinking in math is also an important ability. Lay theories assume that extensive experience in math would lead to increased flexibility, but some research has posited a change-resistant account, which argues that exper…
Math Anxiety
Mathematics anxiety is a pervasive issue in education that requires attention from both educators and researchers to help students reach their full academic potential. This review provides an overview of past research that has investigated the association between math anxiety and math achievement, factors that can cause math anxiety, characteristics of students that can increase their susceptibility to math anxiety, and efforts that educators can…
On the relationship between math anxiety and math achievement in early elementary school
Intergenerational Effects of Parents’ Math Anxiety on Children’s Math Achievement and Anxiety
A large field study of children in first and second grade explored how parents’ anxiety about math relates to their children’s math achievement. The goal of the study was to better understand why some students perform worse in math than others. We tested whether parents’ math anxiety predicts their children’s math achievement across the school year. We found that when parents are more math anxious, their children learn significantly less math ove…
Math Anxiety, Working Memory, and Math Achievement in Early Elementary School
Although math anxiety is associated with poor mathematical knowledge and low course grades (Ashcraft & Krause, Citation2007), research establishing a connection between math anxiety and math achievement has generally been conducted with young adults, ignoring the emergence of math anxiety in young children. In the current study, we explored whether math anxiety relates to young children's math achievement. One hundred and fifty-four first- and se…
The relation between spatial skill and early number knowledge
Spatial skill is highly related to success in math and science (e.g., Casey, Nuttall, Pezaris, & Benbow, 1995). However, little work has investigated the cognitive pathways by which the relation between spatial skill and math achievement emerges. We hypothesized that spatial skill plays a crucial role in the development of numerical reasoning by helping children to create a spatially meaningful, powerful numerical representation-the linear number…
The Role of Parents and Teachers in the Development of Gender-Related Math Attitudes
New Directions for Research on the Role of Parents and Teachers in the Development of Gender-Related Math Attitudes
Female teachers’ math anxiety affects girls’ math achievement
People’s fear and anxiety about doing math—over and above actual math ability—can be an impediment to their math achievement. We show that when the math-anxious individuals are female elementary school teachers, their math anxiety carries negative consequences for the math achievement of their female students. Early elementary school teachers in the United States are almost exclusively female (>90%), and we provide evidence that these female teac…
