Cognitive Science and Mathematics Education cover

This volume is a result of mathematicians, cognitive scientists, mathematics educators, and classroom teachers combining their efforts to help address issues of importance to classroom instruction in mathematics. In so doing, the contributors provide a general introduction to fundamental ideas in cognitive science, plus an overview of cognitive theory and its direct implications for mathematics education. A practical, no-nonsense attempt to bring recent research within reach for practicing teachers, this book also raises many issues for cognitive researchers to consider.

"...a `must purchase' for three groups: (a) cognitive scientists who wish to broaden their understanding of the nature of mathematics and of the real world in which classroom teachers must work; (b) mathematicians who wish to become better informed about what it means to do research on mathematics learning and instruction; and (c) mathematics educators (researchers and practitioners) who are interested in a distillation of recent research in cognitive science."
