Opis

More than an application of cognitive science, this text provides a new perspective on maths education by examining the nature of maths concepts and processes, how and why they are taught, why certain approaches appear more effective, and how children may become more mathematically powerful.

Recenzje

"Traces history of the psychology of mathematics education, and summarizes principles of cognition and cognitive development....Valuable reference for mathematics educators and graduate students."
—The American Mathematical Monthly

"...This is a valuable book in what it offers and deserves a place in the library of psychology, mathematics and education departments."
—British Journal of Educational Psychology
