Editor’s Note
For many years, I have been concerned about what I consider
the inappropriate way in which mathematics is taught to young children. The following article, reprinted from the February 1988 issue of the Arithmetic Teacher, addresses the topic very well and should be of particular interest to kindergarten and primary teachers.
