Outline: The focus of this study was, using a longitudinal design, to investigate which skills are important to the development of maths abilities in children who have just began formal schooling. I will talk about the results from the first part of this study, in which we looked at the contribution of magnitude and order processing abilities to the development of maths achievement at the end of children’s first year of school. Whilst many researchers argue that magnitude processing skills are a precursor to the development of the symbolic number system, we argue that children’s ability to process order (both numerical and non-numerical ordering ability) is at least as equally as important to the acquisition of number skills.
