Researchers examining children's mathematics acquisition are now questioning the belief that children learn mathematics principally through formalized, in-school mathematics education. There is increasing evidence that children gain mathematical understanding through their participation in out-of-school cultural practices and that their mathematics only occasionally resembles what they learn in the classroom. Culture and Cognitive Development presents the latest research by Dr. Geoffrey Saxe on this issue. In examinations of the mathematical understandings of child candy sellers in an urban center in northeastern Brazil, Dr. Saxe finds sharp contrasts between mathematics as practiced in school and in real-world settings. In this unique research project he presents a penetrating conceptual treatment of the interplay between culture and cognitive development, filling a void in current research literature. Subjects examined include: the interplay between sociocultural and cognitive developmental processes the differences between math knowledge learned in and out of the classroom the ways math learning in the classroom is modified by children's out-of-school mathematics and, correspondingly, how practical out-of-school mathematics use is modified by formal education

Combinatorics and Reasoning: Representing, Justifying and Building Isomorphisms is based on the accomplishments of a cohort group of learners from first grade through high school and beyond, concentrating on their work on a set of combinatorics tasks. By studying these students, the editors gain insight into the foundations of proof building, the tools and environments necessary to make connections, activities to extend and generalize combinatoric learning, and even explore implications of this learning on the undergraduate level. This volume underscores the power of attending to basic ideas in building arguments; it shows the importance of providing opportunities for the co-construction of knowledge by groups of learners; and it demonstrates the value of careful construction of appropriate tasks. Moreover, it documents how reasoning that takes the form of proof evolves with young children and discusses the conditions for supporting student reasoning.
Eminent scholars from around the globe gathered to discuss how
educational systems would change if the prevailing principles of
constructivism were applied to three major aspects of those systems
-- knowledge and learning, communication, and environment. This
volume provides documentation of the proceedings of this important
meeting - - the Early Childhood Action Group of the Sixth
International Congress on Mathematics Education.

The combined impact of linguistic, cultural, educational and
cognitive factors on mathematics learning is considered in this
unique book. By uniting the diverse research models and
perspectives of these fields, the contributors describe how
language and cognitive factors can influence mathematical learning,
thinking and problem solving. The authors contend that cognitive
skills are heavily dependent upon linguistic skills and both are
critical to the representational knowledge intimately linked to
school achievement in mathematics.

The people of the Navajo Nation know mathematics education for their children is essential. They were joined by mathematicians familiar with ways to deliver problems and a pedagogy that, through exploration, shows the art, joy and beauty in mathematics. This combined effort produced a series of Navajo Math Circles--interactive mathematical explorations--across the Navajo Reservation. This book contains the mathematical details of that effort. Between its covers is a thematic rainbow of problem sets that were used in Math Circle sessions on the Reservation. The problem sets are good for puzzling over and exploring the mathematical ideas within. They will help nurture curiosity and confidence in students. The problems come with suggestions for pacing, for adjusting the problems to be more or less challenging, and for different approaches to solving them. This book is a wonderful resource for any teacher wanting to enrich the mathematical lives of students and for anyone curious about mathematical thinking outside the box. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics profession.

Wiskunde-angs is ’n werklikheid wat kinders – en hul ouers – se lewens versuur en uiteindelik ook beroepskeuses beperk. Onder die redes daarvoor is dat basiese syfervaardighede kleintyd nie deeglik vasgelê word nie, en dat Wiskunde só aangebied word dat kinders belangstelling verloor. Om suksesvol in Wiskunde te wees, moet ’n kind onder meer ’n parate of outomatiese kennis van getalle en die vier hoofbewerkings hê, sodat dit oombliklik, sonder om te dink, opgeroep kan word. Best Books se Pret met Wiskunde-reeks vir die Grondslagfase vergemaklik die verwerwing van dié kennis met verbeeldingryke aktiwiteite wat dit maklik én lekker maak om vaardighede stap vir stap in te oefen en heeltemal te bemeester. So word ’n stewige grondslag vir die kind se hele skoolloopbaan gelê. Die Nuwe Alles-In-Een Pret met Wiskunde-werkboeke vir Graad 1–3 volg die KABV-kurrikulum en toon aan wat deur die jaar van jong leerders verwag word. Die werkboeke bestaan uit oefenbladsye, werkvelle en ’n volkleurspeletjie per kwartaal. Oefenbladsye oefen parate vaardighede in, die werkvelle bevorder kreatiewe denke en probleemoplossing, en die speletjies help om vaardighede verder in te skerp. Al die vereiste inhoudsareas word gedek: patrone, funksies en algebra; getalle, bewerkings en verwantskappe; ruimte en vorm; datahantering; en meting. Die boeke is geskik vir gebruik in die klaskamer en tuis.

This book contributes to both mathematical problem solving and the communication of mathematics by students, and the role of personal and home technologies in learning beyond school. It does this by reporting on major results and implications of the Problem@Web project that investigated youngsters' mathematical problem solving and, in particular, their use of digital technologies in tackling, and communicating the results of their problem solving, in environments beyond school. The book has two focuses: Mathematical problem solving skills and strategies, forms of representing and expressing mathematical thinking, technological-based solutions; and students and teachers perspectives on mathematics learning, especially school compared to beyond-school mathematics.
What does it mean to have a visual representation of a mathematical object, concept, or process? What visualization strategies support growth in mathematical thinking, reasoning, generalization, and knowledge? Is mathematical seeing culture-free? How can information drawn from studies in blind subjects help us understand the significance of a multimodal approach to learning mathematics? Toward a Visually-Oriented School Mathematics Curriculum explores a unified theory of visualization in school mathematical learning via the notion of progressive modeling. Based on the author's longitudinal research investigations in elementary and middle school classrooms, the book provides a compelling empirical account of ways in which instruction can effectively orchestrate the transition from personally-constructed visuals, both externally-drawn and internally-derived, into more structured visual representations within the context of a socioculturally grounded mathematical activity. Both for teachers and researchers, a discussion of this topic is relevant in the history of the present. The ubiquity of technological tools and virtual spaces for learning and doing mathematics has aroused interest among concerned stakeholders about the role of mathematics in these contexts. The book begins with a prolegomenon on the author's reflections on past and present visual studies in mathematics education. In the remaining seven chapters, visualization is pursued in terms of its role in bringing about progressions in mathematical symbolization, abduction, pattern generalization, and diagrammatization. Toward a Visually-Oriented School Mathematics Curriculum views issues surrounding visualization through the eyes of a classroom teacher-researcher; it draws on findings within and outside of mathematics education that help practitioners and scholars gain a better understanding of what it means to pleasurably experience the symmetric visual/symbolic reversal phenomenon - that is, seeing the visual in the symbolic and the symbolic in the visual." |
