Mathematical Poise and Movement in Thinking: The Zero Goes on Vacation

Abstract

dc:description

This is a clinical case study that describes mathematical thinking of a seven year old girl, Kay. It reports analyses of video-taped clinical interviews using Piagetian tasks of conservation, number and numeral and other number tasks. It includes a report of microanalysis of one interview, called the Odometer video-tape. Generally, the report attempts a fairly well-rounded portrait of Kay, as a child who customarily thinks about numbers with exceptional poise or equanimity.
