Math Matters: Improving Children’s Numeracy as a Precursor to Better Health Outcomes

Title: Math Matters: Improving Children’s Numeracy as a Precursor to Better Health Outcomes

PI: Dr. Clarissa A. Thompson (College of Arts and Sciences)

Co-PIsDr. Jennifer M. Taber (College of Arts and Sciences), Dr. Karrie E. Godwin (College of Education, Health, and Human Services), 

This project is a cross-college collaboration that incorporates social, health, developmental, educational, and cognitive psychology to improve how children use numeric information to ultimately promote more informed and better health decisions. Specifically, we will compare multiple interventions to improve children’s numeracy, or their ability to reason about numbers and work with probabilities
