Math Education and Piaget's Theory: A Conversation with Constance Kamii.
Turner, Joy
Montessori Life, v7 n2 p26-28 Spr 1995
Presents an interview with Dr. Constance Kamii on mathematics education. Based on her beliefs about the constructivist approach to elementary arithmetic, she advocates: reformulating goals and objectives, reconceptualizing the teacher role, de-emphasizing competition, eliminating workbooks, and relying instead on a curriculum made up predominately of games and problems for children to solve.
