Recenzje

"Given the intense interest in constructivism and student thinking among the mathematics education community, this timely volume makes an important contribution to the teaching of elementary school mathematics....Chapters are well organized with overviews and commentaries, making the book easy to follow. This is a rich resource for those involved in the teaching and research of elementary school mathematics. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and university libraries."
