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.

Critique of research methods and methodology is one of several key features of the regular dialogue between researchers. This critique takes place formally at conferences and seminars, and regularly in universities. Published critique is normally separated from the original work. This book brings together the writing of researcher and independent critique. Thus the book exposes to wider scrutiny the dialogue that exists between researchers. It will be of interest to all who are concerned to understand the nature and substance of this critique.
The volume comprises a collection of...

Advances in Mathematics Education is a new and innovative book series published by Springer that builds on the success and the rich history of ZDM--The Inter- tional Journal on Mathematics Education (formerly known as Zentralblatt fur - daktik der Mathematik). One characteristic of ZDM since its inception in 1969 has been the publication of themed issues that aim to bring the state-of-the-art on c- tral sub-domains within mathematics education. The published issues include a rich variety of topics and contributions that continue to be of relevance today. The newly established monograph series...

This book emanated primarily from concerns that the mathematical capabilities of young children continue to receive inadequate attention in both the research and instructional arenas. Research over many years has revealed that young children have sophisticated mathematical minds and a natural eagerness to engage in a range of mathematical activities. As the chapters in this book attest, current research is showing that young children are developing complex mathematical knowledge and abstract reasoning a good deal earlier than previously thought. A range of studies in prior to school and...
