parents and educators of children with #DownSyndrome !
We’re still looking for children with Down Syndrome aged 5-18 years to join our study on mathematical development at UCL! Participants will engage in some maths and cognitive assessment and receive a detailed report!
🧑💼 Looking for an additional symposium presentation for @mathcogsociety conference this summer! DM me if you have work on parent-child interactions or math talk.
Our new paper provides an explanation as to why tie addition problems (4 + 4) are so easily memorized by children

Always looking for ways, large & small, to encourage my students to read in their leisure time. A few years ago I started including "currently reading" and "last read" in my email signature, as shown below. A list of my 2024 leisure reading is here: https://t.co/vQnWNouBp4
@ProfVicSimms@UlsterRugby Nathan and I are big fans of rugby. Our team (ASM) lost again Leinster yesterday. Happy that Farrah also belongs to our world now ! :-D
"Revealing Mental Representations of Arithmetic Word Problems Through False Memories"
Excited about this new JEP:LMC paper!
👉3 experiments investigating how the semantic content of math problems alters how we understand and remember them.🧠🔢

Should we let kids count on their fingers? Is it a strategy only 'weak' students use? Should you teach it explicitly? What about fluent recall of facts later on?
Very interesting episode with an expert researcher in finger counting, @CatherineThev!
