Simplest Shapes First! But Let's Use Cognitive Science to Reconceive and Specify What “Simple” Means
Abstract Children's informal and formal learning experiences with geometric shapes currently result in misconceptions that persist into adulthood. Here, we combine research from mathematics education as well as cognitive science pertaining to concepts, categories, and learning strategies to propose a more optimal progression that is better specified ...

Children building and having fun while they learn geometry
Abstract Geometry is a basic discipline in STEM education. Recent educational reports, however, suggest that geometry is one of the subjects that sees the lowest levels of performance in the math curriculum. This paper presents a gamified itinerary through digital activities designed to teach geometry. Our aim is to attract Primary School children into

We show that parahippocampus and posterior cingulate cortex interact via θ–γ coupling that correlates with memory recollection, but this is altered in amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients. Hence, this study revealed novel information concerning concomitant oscillations and differences in a network centered on the posterior cingulate cortex in ...

A theoretical analysis of the validity of the Van Hiele levels of reasoning in graph theory
The need to develop consistent theoretical frameworks for the teaching and learning of discrete mathematics, specifically of graph theory, has attracted the attention of the researchers in mathematics education. Responding to this demand, the scope of the Van Hiele model has been extended to the field of graphs through a proposal of four levels of ...
