Is Conservation of Number a Necessary Condition for Mathematical Understanding?

Mpiangu, Benayame Dinzau; Gentile, J. Ronald

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 6, 3, 179-192, May 75

Children were grouped according to ability to conserve number and then randomly assigned to training on arithmetic concepts or playing a game. The research hypothesis that there would be an interaction effect between conservation and effect of treatment was not confirmed. (SD)
