Description: | Purpose: In this project, the researchers in this project evaluated the short-term and long-term effects of the prekindergarten mathematics curriculum on low-income children in California and New York. In a complementary study, the investigators were to evaluate the sensitivity of several mathematically focused assessment instruments to changes in preschool children's mathematical thinking.
