520 3    |a Counting numbers is one of the first skills learned by children at an early age. Research indicates that children who master these skills in preschool, demonstrate a stronger conceptual understanding in mathematics later in life and are less likely to fall behind in mathematical skills. More significantly, children with developmental delays often experience serious deficits in mathematics, which can be identified as early as 3-4 years old (Nguyen et al., 2016). Identifying deficits at an early age can identify children at risk of later academic difficulties or disabilities. Therefore, it is imperative to identify evidence-based instruction for teaching the acquisition of numbers and mastery of early numeracy skills for children ages 3-5 with and without developmental delays. This study investigated the impact of teaching two evidence based instructional approaches, Montessori Short Bead Stairs and Traditional methods, on 159 preschool students with and without developmental delays. Participants’ knowledge and performance of counting, identifying, ordering, and identifying the quantity of numbers 1-10 were examined using the Test of Early Mathematics Ability, 3rd Edition Form A and B for pre-and post-test comparisons. Additionally, 13 participating teachers completed a survey on their perceptions of their own confidence, reliability, willingness to use the lessons after the study, and perceptions of children’s understanding of early numeracy skills. Results of this study suggest that randomization by classes yielded unequal treatment groups, calling into question treatment findings. However, children with developmental delays performed worse compared to their peers without developmental delays. Findings also shows similar improvement in both groups using both Montessori and Traditional curricula.
