Mathematics and Language Experience.
McGhee, Joyce
Montessori Life, v7 n2 p34-36 Spr 1995
Presents an approach to geometry that integrates mathematics and language teaching. Suggests that mathematics is more than manipulation of numbers: it is a way of thinking about things. Argues that mathematics and language should be united especially to achieve the goal of promoting the development of analytical thinkers, as the ability to see relationships and patterns enables problem solving.
