Mathematical and Analogical Reasoning of Young Learners by Lyn D English
This book draws upon studies of the development of young children's mathematical and analogical reasoning in the United States and Australia to address a number of significant issues in the mathematical development of young children."This book is a very useful resource not only for mathematics education researchers, cognitive psychologists and teacher educators but would also benefit classroom teachers of young childrenUnderstanding the development of children's reasoning processes would help teachers tailor instruction that facilitates and nurtures the natural 'mathematical' tendencies of young children....recommended very highly."
—The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast
"This book fills a niche in the current literature. It takes us back to the very roots of learning by investigating foundational questions on the nature of, the evolution of, and the complexity of reasoning in young children. The book's attempt to create a research base on children's analogical reasoning and its relationship to mathematical reasoning is a giant step in the right direction. It is certainly an eye-opener for anybody interested in complexities of the teaching and learning of mathematics."
