The development of mathematical language in a young child: A pilot study

Abstract

A solid mathematical vocabulary is a crucial basis for later mathematical learning. This article follows the development of mathematical language in a two-year-old. It examines when preschoolers learn basic terms-for colour, position, shape, and number-and documents the order in which they become part of this child's meaningful vocabulary.
