The Development of Everyday Mathematics in Brazilian Children with Limited Formal Education.
Guberman, Steven R.
Child Development, v67 n4 p1609-23 Aug 1996
Studied the sociocultural context in which Brazilian children acquire and use everyday mathematics in terms of currency use. Participants were 105 children, ages 4 to 11, and their parents. Found decreased use of currency with increasing age. Children also used currency to aid their problem solving and progressed from global estimates to the mental decomposition and manipulation of currency values. (MOK)
