The second article (Part 2) builds on the theoretical and contextual foundation developed in paper one by exploring in more depth how to teach tennis based on the use of USTA modified equipment and Tennis Canada's play-practice-play program. Drawing on the enactivist cognitive approach to teaching tennis, this paper shows how tennis players,…

Research suggests that young children have a complex sense of informal mathematics, including an understanding of more and less, shape, and patterns (Ginsburg, Lee, & Boyd, 2008), and that attention to mathematics in early childhood ensures that children have a strong foundation for later learning. For children with identified disabilities,…
