This book focuses on elementary and middle school children's understanding of mathematics as well as the cognitive aspects involved in the development of mathematical knowledge, skills, and understanding. Children's success in and understanding of mathematics stem from factors beyond the mathematics curriculum. Researchers are increasingly becoming aware of the necessity to consider a complex set of variables when accounting for large individual differences in mathematics achievement. These chapters contribute to how both researchers and educators can consider the multidimensionality of skills involved in developing mathematical knowledge in the middle school years as well as to how this knowledge can be used to enhance practices in the mathematics classroom. Topics include the cognitive and spatial skills involved in mathematics knowledge, the role of motivation in mathematics learning, the neurological processes and development of children's mathematics skills, the development ofunderstanding of arithmetic and fraction concepts, the factors relating to children's word problem success, and techniques to promote mathematics understanding.
