Cognitive Foundations for Improving Mathematical Learning (Volume 5) (Mathematical Cognition and Learning (Print) (Volume 5))

Author: David C. GearyPublisher: Academic PressPaperback:ISBN 10: 0128159529ISBN 13: 978-0128159521The fifth volume in the Mathematical Cognition and Learning series focuses on informal learning environments and other parental influences on numerical cognitive development and formal instructional interventions for improving mathematics learning and performance.  The chapters cover the use of numerical play and games for improving foundational number knowledge as well as school math performance, the link between early math abilities and the approximate number system, and how families can help improve the early development of math skills.  The book goes on to examine learning trajectories in early mathematics, the role of mathematical language in acquiring numeracy skills, evidence-based assessments of early math skills, approaches for intensifying early mathematics interventions, the use of analogies in mathematics instruction, schema-based diagrams for teaching ratios and proportions,
