Subclaims¶

q4 i? The correlation with writing did not significantly differ between lower and higher order mathematics skills (b = −0.02, p = 0.41), nor between lower and higher order writing subskills (b = −0.01, p = 0.77). → Young-Suk Grace Kim 2024

q4 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Meta-analytic moderation analysis of mathematics subskill category across the 211 studies. No statistically significant difference between lower and higher order mathematics skills; equivalence was not tested. Writing subskill moderations were also non-significant (p = 0.77; p = 0.37).

"the correlation with writing skills did not significantly differ for lower and higher order mathematics skills (b = − 0.02, SE = 0.03, p = 0.41)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Writing Skills — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

Related Claims¶

• Mathematics and writing skills are moderately correlated overall (r = 0.48) across 211 studies — related
• In primary grades, lower order writing and lower order mathematics skills show the strongest relation (r = 0.59); in adulthood the higher order pair is weak (r = 0.26) — related
• The mathematics–writing correlation is stronger in primary grades (r = 0.52) than in university and beyond (r = 0.30) — related
