Mitchelmore, Michael C. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
The observations of a five-year-old girl about the mutliplication tables are presented. The results are compared to structures in modern algebra. The incident is suggested as an example of Bruner's hypothesis: Any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development. (LS)
