Negative Numbers

Galbraith, Mary J.

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 5, 1, 83-90, Jan-Mar 74

Examination of models for representing integers demonstrates that formal operational thought is required for establishing the operations on integers. Advocated is the use of many models for introducing negative numbers but, apart from addition, it is recommended that operations on integers be delayed until the formal operations stage. (JP)
