Check it out! A large RCT demonstrated the efficacy of our intervention to improve children's understanding of math equivalence. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1… Materials and videos are freely available (see below):
All intervention materials and videos are freely available: icue.nd.edu/ Thanks to @ACEatND for creating videos of the 4 components: 1) introducing = before arithmetic, 2) nontraditional arithmetic practice, 3) concreteness fading, and 4) comparison and explanation

Members of the Learning and Development Lab contributed to the co-design of the Our Math World curriculum materials. We are so excited to see this compilation of our work for the past 3 years alongside other projects also funded by @aerdf's EF+Math program!
Excited to share this video featuring the Our Math World project I lead (funded by @aerdf). We co-designed a curriculum overlay with educators and students that builds math identity, executive function, problem solving, and math vocabulary skills. vimeo.com/856210965?fbclid=I…
The most recent study @VTLearnLab is collaborating on! Check out the post below- we are recruiting 3-6 year olds and their parents to participate in a zoom study!
📣We are recruiting 3- to 6-year-old children and their parents for a study on storybook reading with conversational AI agents (online). Details are below ⬇️. Please share this with anyone interested!📖
