The Relative Development in Young Children of Geometrical and Numerical Concepts

Choat, Ernest

Educational Studies, 3, 2, 153-69, Jun 77

Discusses the relationship between geometrical and numerical concepts in the mathematical development of young children. Based upon a longitudinal field study of 224 children, findings suggest that memorization ability facilitates understanding of numerical concepts but that subsequent mathematical development is restricted until basic geometry is mastered.
