Research

Professor Bob Wright has spent many years researching how and why some children go on to develop normal or even exceptional maths skills, while others painfully struggle and keep counting by ‘ones’. Intervention instruction needs to develop students’ number knowledge to support non-count-by-ones strategies, and to move students to independence from concrete materials to more abstract thinking.
