Björklund, Camilla; Palmér, Hanna – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
In this article we report on a study of children's attention to numerical content in picture books. Specific research questions are 1) how the content in a designed picture book directs children's attention to numbers, and 2) what kind of numerical reasoning the book reading entails. To answer these questions, we conducted an educational design…
