Studieboek gericht op pabo-studenten.
The author presents a system of counters (tokens) which represented a breakthrough in communication. These tokens were small objects modeled in clay in various geometric forms used for counting and accounting for goods. The system has implications for studies in origins of civil…

Adding it Up explores how students in pre-K through eighth grade learn mathematics and recommends how teaching, curricula, and teacher education should change to improve mathematics learning during these critical years. The committee identifies five interdependent components of …
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 parti…
This volume contains definitions of terms associated with arithmetic, algebra and trigonometry, with natural overlap into geometry, topology, and other related areas. There are more than 2500 definitions, from Abelian cohomology to zero ring and from the very basic to the highly…
