Williams-Pierce, Caro; Katirci, Nihal; Simpson, Amber; Shokeen, Ekta; Bih, Janet – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
We offer this synthesized framework as a tool to reveal mathematical activity in a non-formal makerspace. In particular, we connect research at different grain sizes to illustrate and explain how mathematics plays a crucial, if often implicit, role in this activity. We begin with describing the Approximate Number System and the Ratio-Processing…

Mathematical play has a fairly short history, with strong roots further back in time (e.g., Papert, Montessori), and understanding the role of mathematical play from early childhood to adulthood is, as yet. unmapped. This working group will build on the success of last year's working group and continue to provide a community space to explore and…
