ABSTRACT
This paper describes the iterative research and development process used by the Next Generation Preschool Math project, which integrates content analysis, logic model processes, and iterative design and research approaches. An innovative aspect of this process is the inclusion of an adapted version of evidence-centered design---an approach traditionally used to create assessments---to align the mathematical goals with the design of instructional materials as well as with the assessment.

Intentional Technology Use in Early Childhood Education
Early childhood is a critical developmental period when children's experiences have lasting impacts on long-term outcomes. Thus, an evidence-based understanding of how technology can support early childhood education (ECE) classrooms promises to be ...
Next generation preschool math demo: tablet games for preschool classrooms
IDC '13: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Interaction Design and ChildrenThis paper describes the Next Generation Preschool Math project, a $3 million, four-year research and development initiative funded by the National Science Foundation.
