Evidence from young children suggests that trajectories of number learning differ for children having different home numeracy experiences. Children involved in higher frequency of direct numeracy practice tend to have higher numeracy skills, but the result becomes more complicated when considering the types of home numeracy activities. The relationship between the home numeracy experience and preschool children's nurneracy development may shed light on how children acquire number skills and develop their mathematics competence.展开更多

Unusual in the current primary schooling in China, the private full-time school based in Shanghai differed in both teaching methods and content. "The students, aged between 4 and 12, are taught to recite Confucian classics," said Lu Liwei, one of the school's founders. "No lectures, no simple展开更多
