An introduction to a subject of great interest to psychologists, educationalists and teachers: how do children acquire mathematical ability and skills? In this comprehensive overview of theory and research, Yvette Soloman begins with a detailed description of Piaget's theory of stage sequence and critics and adherents who debated and developed his view. She elucidates Donaldson's argument that children lean heavily on non-linguistic, i.e. social, cues in performing tasks, and goes on to build a bridge towards an understanding of arithmetic and mathematics as an essentially social activity. This book is for professionals, for students of psychology, education and mathematics, and for all teachers.
