On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Adults easily move between spoken number words and written Arabic digit strings. In my presentation I will describe the development of this skill in children from learning single digits to becoming experts in reading and writing multi-digit numbers. I will explore hurdles on this journey and discuss in how far language affects the development of these skills. In the second part I will present results from our longitudinal study showing that number reading and writing skills in Year 1 predict arithmetic development over the next two years as well as early fraction understanding in Year 3. In sum, our results highlight the importance of number transcoding skills in early primary school.
