Robert Stuart Siegler

Dr. Robert Siegler has written 13 books, edited 6 others, and authored more than 250 articles, monographs, and book chapters. His research focuses on how children learn mathematics and how theoretical understanding of mathematical development can be applied to improving that learning. His research led to the prediction, confirmed by subsequent research, that playing certain numerical board games yields broad, rapid, and enduring gains in preschoolers' and elementary school children's numerical understanding, particularly for children from low-income backgrounds.
