Baroody, Arthur J.; Price, Joyce – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1983
Four three-year-old girls were studied in seven sessions during a three-month period for their performance on rote and object counting tasks. Two exhibited behavior consistent with underlying stable-order and uniqueness principles. (MNS)

Mathematics in School, 1982
The lesson details an approach to teaching positive and negative numbers which uses number pairs and generates inverses that initially avoid any mention or use of negative signs. The material moves pupils from development of key concepts to the use of more standardized notation for number operations. (MP)

Saxe, Geoffrey B.; Kaplan, Rochelle – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
This study is an examination of developmental changes in children's use of pointing gestures to achieve an accurate count. Based on the data gathered, it is argued that the functional relation between the recitation of number names and children's pointing gestures in counting changes over the course of development.

Carpenter, Thomas P.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has completed its second mathematical assessment. This article focuses on the results from the second assessment of 9 year olds and 13 year olds; major results of the content areas are summarized and examples of the data are given to support the conclusions. (Author/MK) Aspect of National…

Fluck, Michael; Hewison, Yvonne – British Journal of Psychology, 1979
Critics assert that Piaget's tests seriously underestimate operational thinking by failing to consider experimenter and presentation variables. This experiment studied the impact of these social influences on number conservation performance. Subjects viewed videotapes in which the task was presented by an adult or by puppets. Presentation mode…
