Thinking about Thinking. A Study of the Adult's Role in Providing for the Development of Number Awareness in Young Children.
Sharpe, Pamela J.
Early Child Development and Care, v144 p79-89 May 1998
Examined early mathematics learning in Singaporean preschoolers and kindergartners, as well as preschool teachers' teaching styles and materials. Findings suggest that crucial factors in early mathematics learning include (1) the provision of opportunities for children to reflect on their observations; and (2) adults' warmth expressed in collaborative interactions in which children are encouraged to explain how they solve problems.
