The Effect of "Big Maths for Little Kids" Curriculum on Mathematical Development of 61-72 Month–Old Children

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of "Big Math for Little Kids" curriculum on mathematical development of 61-72 month-old children attending kindergartens. This experimental study had a pre-test-post-test design. The sample of the study was composed of a total of 42 61-72 month-old children attending kindergartens of the randomly selected primary schools. In the study, "Progress in Maths 6 Test" was used to collect data. As a result of this study, it was found out that average Progress in Maths 6 Test scores of children in the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the ones in the control group. Extended Abstract Purpose and Significance: The purpose of the current research was to investigate the effect of "Big Math for Little Kids" curriculum on mathematical development of 61-72 month-old children attending kindergartens.
