Abstract

An important aspect of primary school instruction is fostering children's development in mathematics. Accordingly, this is a vital research topic for mathematics education as well as for educational psychology. Key issues are the following questions, which are - as yet without comprehensive answers: Which mathematical competencies do children have on entering primary education? How does their mathematical knowledge and how do their competencies develop within the next fourth years? Which are the determining individual, contextual and classroom factors affecting their development? What might teachers do in order to support their students' mathematical development? This paper describes recent research related to these questions. In particular, it puts an emphasis on aspects of the modeling of mathematical competency. Moreover, we will present results of a longitudinal study with children of grades 2 and 3 and discuss these results within a framework, which is based on a model of competency development.
