CONSTRUCTING NUMBER GEBUNDEN

The book synergizes research on number across two disciplines¿mathematics education and
psychology. The underlying problem the book addresses is how the brain constructs number. The
opening chapter frames the problem in terms of children¿s activity  including mental and
physical actions. Subsequent chapters are organized into sections that address specific domains
of number: natural numbers  fractions  and integers. Chapters within each section address ways
that children build upon biological primitives (e.g.  subitizing) and prior constructs (e.g. 
counting sequences) to construct number. The book relies on co-authored chapters and
commentaries at the end of each section to create dialogue between junior faculty and senior
researchers  as well as between psychologists and mathematics educators. The final chapter
brings this work together around the framework of children¿s activity and additional themes
that arise in the collective work. The book is aimed to appeal to mathematics educators 
mathematics teacher educators  mathematics education researchers  educational psychologists 
cognitive psychologists  and developmental psychologists.
