Book Description An essential introduction to a subject of great interest to psychologists and teachers: how do children acquire mathematical ability and skills? This comprehensive overview of theory and research begins with a detailed description of Piaget's theory of stage sequence and critics and adherents who debated and developed his view. Solomon elucidates Donaldson's argument that children lean heavily on non-linguistic, i.e. social, cues in performing tasks, and builds towards an understanding of arithmetic and mathematics as an essentially social activity. The Development of Mathematical Skills is a significant book for professionals, for students of psychology, education and mathematics, and teachers. | ||
