Re-Rooting the Learning Space : : a Minding Where Children's Mathematics Grow / / Jennifer S. Thom.

To understand a living system, such as a tree, in an ecologically systemic way involves more than simply reducing the tree down to its parts or by analyzing the tree from part to whole. Not only does one need to study the tree’s leaves, stems, branches, trunk, root system, and its interaction with t...
