Description¶

A structured art-activity program in which preschool children work with plasticized clay to practice six basic mathematics skills: observation, categorization, comparison, classification, order arrangement and measurement. The study covered "all the 6 basic skills in mathematics ... which consists of 3 activities per skill, totaled to 18 activities". Sessions ran 6 weeks, 3 days per week, 30 minutes per day, delivered Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

A researcher-made 30-point basic mathematics assessment (reliability 0.86) to identify children with low basic mathematical skill before participation

Constraints¶

Teachers must ensure children do not put the plasticized clay in their mouth, which the authors note could be dangerous

Target Learners¶

preschool children aged 3-4 years attending kindergarten 1

Learning Goals¶

six basic mathematics skills: observation, categorization, comparison, classification, order arrangement and measurement
