Rumbelow, Michael – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2021
"Where Mathematics Comes From" (Lakoff & Núñez 2000) proposed that mathematical concepts such as arithmetic and counting are constructed cognitively from embodied metaphors of actions on physical objects, and four actions, or 'grounding metaphors' in particular: collecting, stepping, constructing and measuring. This article argues…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina; Lafay, Anne; Wylie, Judith; Osana, Helena P.; Douglas, Heather; Maloney, Erin A.; Simms, Victoria – Developmental Psychology, 2021
In the present research, we provide empirical evidence for the process of symbolic integration of number associations, focusing on the development of simple addition (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8), subtraction (e.g., 5 - 3 = 2), and multiplication (e.g., 5 × 3 = 15). Canadian children were assessed twice, in Grade 2 and Grade 3 (N = 244; 55% girls). All…

Zimmermann, Bernd – 1980
A three-dimensional classification system of mathematical problems is given. A background philosophy is constructed through an analysis of different approaches to problem-solving research, leading to the statement of 5 theses and the objectives for the study. An exploratory study of mathematical problem-solving processes is conducted within this…
