Mathematical Analysis of Piaget's Grouping Concept. Papy's Minicomputer as a Grouping

Steiner, H. G.

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 5, 2, 241-250, Apr-Jun 74

Through a mathematical analysis, Piaget's grouping concept can be formally interpreted as being a hybrid between the mathematical concepts of a group and a lattice. Some relevant pedagogical models are presented. Activities with Cuisenaire Rods, Dienes Blocks, and Papy's Minicomputer are shown to take place in groupings. (LS)
