Young Children Continue to Reinvent Arithmetic

Responding to their recent research on how children learn mathematics, the authors have revised this bestselling textbook to provide practical advice on what works and what should be avoided when teaching second graders. This volume features important revisions to their groundbreaking program based on Piaget's theory that children learn arithmetic by constructing it from the inside, through their own natural ability to think.
