Mathematics and Cognitive Growth Virginia Arvizu-Calvillo
Phases of Mathematical Development • Embodied Objects Stage • Proceptual /Symbolic Stage • Formal/Axiomatic Stage
Embodied Objects • Exploration of Objects • Moving to the Symbolic
Proceptual • Process/procedure and concept • Cognitive Unit- compressed piece of knowledge • Students who can move farther away from the conceptual (embodied objects) are more successful
Formal/Axiomatic • Abstract Thinking
