The Relationship Between the Mathematical Structure of Euclidean Transformations and the Spontaneously Developed Cognitive Structures of Young Children
Moyer, John C.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 9, 2, 83-92, Mar 78
Children aged four through eight performed a series of tasks involving two-dimensional isometrics to determine the amount of compatability between a mathematically-based organization of Euclidean transformation concepts and the existing cognitive structures of the children. Results confirmed that mathematical and cognitive structures are not always in total accord. (MN)
