Abstract | In this study we investigated how 200 students in seventh grade (mean age = 12.38 years) solved simple addition problems and if the way they performed simple addition was related to their achievement in mathematics. Four performance groups were identified: proficient, almost proficient, inaccurate min counting and accurate min counting. More than half the participants did not display proficient or close to proficient performance despite expectations that proficiency is achieved around third grade. Findings unique to this study were that accurate min counting was associated with lower math achievement and that girls were more likely to display this pattern of performance than boys. The findings corroborate a growing awareness that many students are not achieving proficiency and that this is a concern requiring attention.
