Are You Sure? Stimulating Mathematical Thinking during Young Children's Play.
Oers, Bert van
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v4 n1 p71-87 1996
An observational study investigated which teaching opportunities within a role play activity could be considered valuable for the improvement of mathematical thinking. Observations indicated many such opportunities, suggesting that if teachers manage to make use of such teaching opportunities, children can explicitly reflect on the relationship between symbols and meanings within play activities.
