    "title": "Arithmetic Sense Predicts CHildren's Mathematical Achievement Better Than Arithmetic Fluency",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Research on arithmetic competence has emphasized the importance of arithmetic fluency – the use of\nefficient direct strategies when solving simple, conventional problems. Comparatively little attention has\nbeen focused on arithmetic sense, which we define as the adaptive use of direct and indirect strategies\nwhen solving complex, novel problems. The current study evaluates the new construct of arithmetic\nsense and investigates its predictive relationship to mathematical achievement. 302 students in 6 th grade\ncompleted a battery of tests of their cognitive and numerical abilities, arithmetic fluency, arithmetic\nsense, mathematics achievement, and pre-algebra skills. The central finding is that arithmetic sense is\nthe best single predictor of mathematical achievement. In particular, it is better than arithmetic fluency.\nThese findings open a new pathway for improving school-aged students’ algebraic thinking and\nmathematical achievement.",
