Precursors to number: Equivalence relations, less-than and greater-than relations, and units
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 December 2008
Abstract
Infants' knowledge need not have the same structure as the mature knowledge that develops from it. Fundamental to an understanding of number are concepts of equivalence and less-than and greater-than relations. These concepts, together with the concept of unit, are posited to be the starting points for the development of numerical knowledge.
