A Cognitive-Developmental Study of the Ability to Add and Subtract of Children with Learning Difficulties in Maths.

Sutherland, Peter

Early Child Development and Care, v95 p41-48 1993

Found that, after extracting an arithmetic problem from a real situation and working out an answer, 6- to 12-year-olds with learning difficulties in math were unable to reapply the answer to the situation. Also found that the children, in a hypothetical situation, were unable to use token money, or to do calculations on paper or with an electronic calculator. (BC)
