Book excerpt: "Children's Mathematical Development" [offers] the 1st comprehensive treatment of number-skills development from infancy through adolescence. [The author] presents basic research in early number development, arithmetic, and mathematical problem solving; explores theoretical perspectives; and discusses implications for educators, offering his own thought-provoking conclusions. /// [He also] identifies 3 different forms of disability and describes specific math-related cognitive deficits. Using hard data, he critiques current philosophical approaches to education reform, offers suggestions for how to improve the teaching of math procedures and concepts, and examines how to address math anxiety and remediate math disability.
