Why do some children struggle with mathematics, while others seem to be naturally gifted? In this book, Caleb Gattegno examines the obstacles that keep students from succeeding in math, and provides a clear solution. Using Algebricks colored rods, parents and teachers can make arithmetic visible, tangible, and rewarding for their learners. Through exploring and playing with the materials, children absorb essential mathematical knowledge, while parents and teachers discover the astounding learning capacity and inventiveness of their children.

"Since knowing produces knowledge, and not the other way around, this book shows how everyone can be a producer rather than a consumer of mathematical knowledge. Mathematics can be owned as a means of mathematizing the universe, just as the power of verbalizing molds itself to all the manifold demands of experience." C. Gattegno

"Les premiers indices montrant l'education comme un domaine d'etude, qui deviendrait finalement tout aussi legitime comme science que d'autres l'etaient devenus, se sont manifestes peu apres 1940. Le point central etait que la conscience, qui a permis a toutes les sciences de trouver leur juste place, pouvait devenir consciente d'elle-meme. Pendant les annees qui ont suivi, nombre de projets de recherche ont produit des occasions d'accumuler des preuves, donnant a l'intuition initiale un corpus de faits permettant d'etablir les fondations de cette science et de fournir les ouvertures pour sa...

Cette monographie est partie integrante de "La Science de l'education," le traite de Caleb Gattegno qui rassemble les fondements de sa pensee et les recherches menees tout au long de sa vie. Ce chapitre revet une importance particuliere car il etablit quels apprentissages conduisent chacun d'entre nous a la maitrise de sa langue maternelle, "la plus etrangere de toutes les langues." Les capacites ainsi developpees peuvent sans doute etre utiles pour apprendre une deuxieme langue. De la se pose alors, selon l'auteur, la question de l'enseignement des langues: "Pouvons-nous nous inspirer des...

Mathematicien de formation, C. Gattegno a contribue de multiples manieres a l'amelioration de l'enseignement des mathematiques. Dans cet ouvrage, ou il offre un regard nouveau et original sur les mathematiques, il met en evidence l'essentiel de ses prises de conscience dans ce domaine, que laissent entrevoir ces quelques phrases tirees de sa preface: "Personne ne s'etonne du fait que partout, la plupart des jeunes enfants apprennent a parler..." Si nous reconnaissons ce fait et y reflechissons, nous decouvrons que les esprits humains sont equipes pour accomplir des actes mentaux qui...

What can be learned about love if one considers it as an energy that is the result of self-awareness? In his essay On Love, Caleb Gattegno applies this question to various aspects of love, examining topics such as Love-Attachment, Romantic Love, Friendship, Universal Love and Outgrowing Egocentricity. On Love was written by Gattegno as a personal exploration and as a means of creating a space for reflection and discussion with his readers.

"Is there any hope that we may ever know what death is? Since it is a problem of knowing, we need to find the epistemological devices that will lead us to coming closer to it. I think this paper has something to tell on the matter something useful and perhaps significant. My own way of being convinced of this is to be found in the liberation my theory brought me, I was freed from having to carry the tension the problem had generated in me." -Caleb Gattegno"
