| Abstract: | In order to appreciate the relevance of a constructivist approach in the Primary Mathematics classroom, we need to start by appreciating what Mathematics is all about in the first place. Well, what is Mathematics all about? Is it about handling additions, subtraction, division and multiplication in everyday situations? Or about naming shapes and other 'mathematical' objects? Manipulating resources? Solving equations? Representing data graphically...? It is about all these things, but most importantly Mathematics as a knowledge domain is all about relationships. |
