Supporting Latino First Graders' Ten-Structured Thinking in Urban Classrooms.
Fuson, Karen C.; Smith, Steven T.; LoCicero, Ana Maria
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v28 n6 p738-66 Dec 1997
Reports on year-long classroom teaching experiments in two predominantly Latino low-socioeconomic-status (SES) urban classrooms which sought to support first graders' thinking of 2-digit quantities as tens and ones. Presents a model of a developmental sequence of conceptual structures for 2-digit numbers to describe children's thinking. Performance was substantially above that of some U.S. students of higher SES. (Author/AIM)
