Children's Counting and Concepts of Number

This recent book in the Springer Series in Cognitive Development outlines an extensive program of research into children's acquisition of counting and number. The author discusses the origins of the concepts of cardinality and correspondence which underlie mathematical learning. Original research explores the relationship between these two important concepts and their implication for cognitive development. Children's Counting and Concepts of Number represents an important contribution to educational practice and research into early mathematical development.
