Learning Mathematics: Constructivist and Interactionist Theories of Mathematical Development

by Paul Cobb (Editor)

This volume emphasizes students' inferred mathematical experiences as the starting point in the theory-building process. The book addresses conceptual constructions, including multiplicative notions, fractions, algebra, and the fundamental theorem of calculus, and theoretical constructs such as the crucial role of language and symbols, and the importance of dynamic imagery.
