Seminar in Mathematical Cognition

Undergraduate

examines the latest research regarding children’s early learning of numbers and later learning of mathematics. Topics may include infants' numerical ability, counting, subitizing, basic arithmetic, fractions, conceptual versus procedural knowledge, individual differences in mathematics, gender differences, and selected topics in mathematics education. These specific topics will be related to developmental theory in order to explore the ways in which cognitive and developmental mechanisms are at play in mathematical learning.
