Peer reviewedTaback, Stanley F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Three examples of teacher and student exchanges in mathematics classes are presented which typify the qualitative difference between children's thinking and adult's thinking. The cases explored also illustrate differences caused by cultural factors. (JP)

Peer reviewedNoddings, Nel – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
The problems of using formalistic methods in the instruction of mathematics to elementary level children are discussed. Precision in mathematical language is not seen as a useful instructional tool, and functional modes of communication are stressed. (MP)
