Ferres-Forga, Nuria; Halberda, Justin; Batalla-Ferres, Ariadna; Bonatti, Luca L. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Exact arithmetic abilities require symbolic numerals, which constitute a precise representation of quantities, such as the Arabic digits. Numerical thinking, however, also engages an intuitive non-linguistic number sense, the Approximate Number System (ANS). The ANS allows us to discriminate quantities, approximate arithmetic transformations, and…

Obersteiner, Andreas; Reiss, Kristina; Ufer, Stefan – Learning and Instruction, 2013
Theories of psychology and mathematics education recommend two instructional approaches to develop students' mental representations of number: The "exact" approach focuses on the development of exact representations of organized dot patterns; the "approximate" approach focuses on the approximate representation of analogue magnitudes. This study…
