Math learning study for first graders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how math skills and thinking skills affect each other in first graders with math learning difficulties. If your child is in a participating school and scores below certain levels on math and memory tests, they may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be in first grade at a participating school in the Metro-Nashville Public Schools.
- The teacher must have agreed to let the class take part in the study.
- Your child must score below the 30th percentile on a math screening test.
- Your child must score below the 50th percentile on a working memory screening test.
- Your child must score at or above the 7th percentile on at least one of two cognitive performance tests.

This trial studies interventions to improve math and cognitive (thinking) skills in elementary school children. It includes both children with math learning difficulties and typically developing children, using tests and MRI brain scans for those who can participate.
This study looks at how children with math learning disabilities process math problems in the brain compared to children who are typically developing. Researchers will use brain scans (MRI) and math tasks to understand differences, with the goal of improving future math interventions.
This study tests a classwide math program in 4th-grade classrooms to see how it works in real school settings. It may help teachers and students learn better, especially by making the approach more inclusive.
This study looks at how children in kindergarten think and learn (often called “executive function”). They may be testing whether certain patterns in thinking and behavior relate to learning or development, and what can be measured in young children.
This trial aims to help children with low vision access the visual environment needed for school, especially for learning to read. It may help by supporting how vision is used for reading in everyday school activities.
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
