Abstract
Engaging children in mathematical investigations is advocated as a means of facilitating mathematical learning. However there is limited guidance for teachers on ways to support young children engaged in investigations. This study provides insights into the mathematical literacy required by seven-to-eight-year-old students undertaking investigations. Examples of difficulties are described in relation to problem solving, representation, manipulation, and reasoning. While mathematical investigations can enhance young children’s learning, teachers need to provide guidance to address necessary skills and knowledge.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
