SPERAFICO, Yasmini Lais Spindler. Intervention in the use of counting procedures and strategies with students in the first years of school with low performance in mathematics. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.94, pp.11-20. ISSN 0103-8486.

Counting is an essential skill for the development of the whole numerical knowledge being a predictor aspect of later math performance. Among counting skills, there are counting procedures and strategies which deal with procedural knowledge applied to solve arithmetic problems. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of a psychoeducational intervention in the counting procedures and strategies checking the evolution of these procedures and strategies and the possibility of generalization of the effects in other mathematical contexts, with a heterogeneous group with five students. It was identified an evolution in the use of counting procedures and strategies, and most students recovered several facts from memory. It was also observed an evolution in numerical knowledge, even in the skills not addressed during interventions, showing that counting knowledge brings benefits in learning other mathematical concepts.
