The Origins of Mathematical Knowledge in Childhood (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book contrasts the widely held view that counting is the starting point for mathematical development with an alternative comparison-of-quantities position. According to the comparison-of-quantities position, the concept of number builds upon more basic concepts of equality, inequality, and less-than and greater-than relations, which derive from comparisons between unenumerated quantities such as lengths. The concept of number combines these basic comparative concepts with the concept of a unit of measure, which allows one quantity to be described as a multiple of another. It is intended for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology, educational psychology, and mathematics education.
