Description
Specifications
A central theme of this book is the ability of children to produce and interpret written representations of numbers.
When children aged seven to eight face specific cases of very simple additions and subtractions (adding two bricks to another two, subtracting one brick from three, etc.), it becomes evident that they have a significant difficulty in making symbols on paper that represent what they have just seen.
And the most complex, not to mention the most concerning, is that not a single child was found in a group of ninety-six who used, or even attempted to use, the symbols “+” and “-”. However, three-quarters of the children often used these symbols when performing additions and subtractions at school.
Hughes indeed manages to clarify the existing assumptions and renew from the ground up how children learn “simple arithmetic” - or fail to do so - continuing with specific suggestions on how the endeavor of teaching and learning arithmetic can gain a solid foundation.
