Math before Symbols: Games to Increase School Readiness in Preschoolers (2013-2014)
This project team worked on a variety of research projects aimed at understanding the relationship between math skills before children learn number symbols and school-based math. One project involved working with preschool children to test the effectiveness of an iPad-based game in readying children's math skills. A second set of projects explored the neural basis of early number skills. A third project aimed to produce a pre-Kindergarten children's book based on insights about how children learn math before symbols.
