To summarize, the present study generated new knowledge for both the theory and practice of teaching elementary mathematics. The results show the importance of promoting mathematical self- confidence on the part of young children by giving them a solid mathematics foundation for later learning. Further research on the influence of specific aspects of mathematics teaching on specific aspects of children’s mathematical development is necessary to expand our knowledge of how we can best promote mathematical development in both the early and later years of elementary school.
