Maths Education Research

Researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Surrey and UCL are looking for volunteers (4-9 years old) with Down syndrome to join a study that aims to better understand numeracy education. 

They hope that this study will help to develop an understanding of the educational supports and thinking skills that support children with Down syndrome and other genetic syndromes to learn mathematics. 

The study involves classroom observation and 1-1 math activities at your child's school over two visits. The researcher will also ask for parents and teachers to answer some questionnaires. No travel will be required.

 Interested in taking part? 

The team have produced a video to introduce themselves: https://vimeo.com/1001119216
