How do children relate to numbers and mathematics? How can they be
helped to understand and make sense of them? People are rarely
ambivalent towards mathematics, having either a love or hate
relationship with the subject, and our approach to it is influenced
by a variety of factors. How we are taught mathematics as children
plays a big role in our feelings towards it. Numbers play a large
part in our lives, and it is therefore beneficial to inspire a
positive attitude towards them at a young age. With contributors
comprised of teachers, teacher educators, mathematicians and
psychologists, Mathematical Misconceptions brings together
information about pupils' work from four different countries, and
looks at how children, from the ages of 3 - 11, think about numbers
and use them. It explores the reasons for their successes,
misunderstandings and misconceptions, while also broadening the
reader's own mathematical knowledge. Chapters explore: - the
seemingly paradoxical number zero - the concept of equality -
children's perceptions and misconceptions of adding, subtracting,
multiplying and dividing - the learning process - the ways in which
children acquire number concepts. This unique book will transform
the way in which primary school teachers think about mathematics.
Fascinating reading for anyone working with children of this age,
it will be of particular interest to teachers, trainee teachers and
teaching assistants. It will show them how to engage children in
the mysteries and delights of numbers.
