Episode i SpedAims-podkasten "Det virker!"
Mads var voksen da han lærte seg klokka. Da han var liten var det "før og etter Barne-TV" som var hans forståelse av tid. I andre episode av "Det virker!" snakker vi om matematikkvansker.

Mathematical Skills as a Predictor of Interest in Mathematics in the First Grade.
Show summary
This study examined how Norwegian first graders’ (N = 297) mathematical skills predicted their interest (i.e., enjoyment and participation) in mathematics-related activities. Students’ mathematical skills (i.e., relational skills, counting skills and arithmetic) were measured during the school year, six months before their parents answered a questionnaire on child interest. After controlling for students’ gender and parents’ educational level, the results of hierarchical regression analyses showed that mathematical skills statistically significantly predicted both enjoyment and participation (β = .358 and β = .307, respectively). As early mathematical skills seem to enhance later interest in the domain, our findings emphasize the importance of early support for students with weak mathematical skills, before their difficulties start to interfere with motivation and interest.
