“…Children performing in the lowest 25th percentile in both samples were weaker in all sets of items measuring different mathematical skills compared to the other three higher performance groups. Consistent with earlier research (e.g., Clarke, Clarke, & Cheeseman, 2006), we found that many children already understood much of what is considered in mathematics curriculum and materials in their forthcoming school year in the kindergarten or the first grade.…”

“…In creating the growth points, the project team studied available research on key ''stages'' or ''levels'' in young children's mathematics learning (e.g., Clements et al 1999;Lehrer and Chazan 1998), as well as frameworks developed by other authors and groups to describe learning. Data relating to growth points and student learning have been reported in a number of publications (see, e.g., Clarke 2004;B. A. Clarke, Clarke, and Cheeseman 2006).…”

“…Recent research has indicated that young children do possess many conceptual resources which, with appropriately designed and implemented learning experiences, can be bootstrapped toward sophisticated forms of reasoning not typically seen in the early grades (e.g., Clarke, Clarke, & Cheesman, 2006;English & Watters, 2005;Lesh & English, 2005;Perry & Dockett, 2008). Most research on early mathematics and science learning has been restricted to an analysis of children's actual developmental level, which has failed to illuminate children's potential for learning under stimulating conditions that challenge their thinking.…”
