McMullen, Jake; Verschaffel, Lieven; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Children's own spontaneous mathematical activities are crucial for their mathematical development. Mathematical thinking and learning does not only occur in explicitly mathematical situations, such as the classroom. Those children with higher tendencies to recognize and use mathematical aspects of their everyday surroundings, both within the…
