Mathematics is taken to be a language, and the aim of its teaching is to make the pupil, so to speak, bilingual, or so to increase his understanding that he is able to translate a concrete numerical problem into the symbolic language of calculation. For a child taught along these lines, how much easier, for example, would be the transition from arithmetic to algebra!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiss Churchill is fully conversant with the works of Piaget, Cuisenaire, Cassirer and other leading thinkers in educational philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. She has synthesized their concepts with her own experience and research at Leeds University, and, though written within the contexts of British education, her book should also have a marked influence on the teaching of young children in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Churchill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442639148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442639140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.72w x 0.55d","brand":"Eileen Churchill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123660583167,"sku":"9781442639140","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80a77c61-80d7-4f1b-a30b-7a40b48d4372.jpg?v=1687432126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/counting-and-measuring-eileen-churchill-9781442639140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
