From Counting to ComputingIdeas for Mathematics Education in Information Age\nAuthor(s): Sergei Abramovich\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Emerald Publishing Limited, United Kingdom\nImprint: Emerald Publishing Limited\nISBN-13: 9781837089017, 978-1837089017\nSynopsis\nFrom Counting to Computing demonstrates the powerful integration of formal mathematical reasoning, hands-on educational experiments, and digital computation to solve problems. It focuses on numeric tables shaped as squares, equilateral and isosceles triangles, offering ample opportunities for algebraic generalization in the digital age. Activities are grounded in addition and multiplication tables, polygonal numbers, and Pascals triangle. Based on the idea that counting objects arranged in geometric shapes leads to the development of numeric patterns, this book extends this concept to digital computing. Using technology-immune/technology-enabled didactical framework, it blends formal reasoning with digital computation i.
