中新小学数学教材数概念联结的比较研究OA

"Understanding Numbers"is a fundamental topic in primary mathematics.Having a good understanding of numbers is crucial for fostering mathematical thinking and supporting understanding of operations on numbers.This study compares the connections among concepts related to numbers in the"Understanding Numbers"sections in textbook series by People's Education Press(PEP)in China and My Pals Are Here(MPH)series by Marshall Cavendish Education in Singapore through content analysis and social network analysis(SNA).The analysis focuses on external problem contexts and internal conceptual links.The findings show that the PEP textbook series supports number-concept understanding through diverse real-world problems contexts with relatively concentrated linkage pathways among key concepts,whereas the MPH textbook series exhibits a more balanced and denser conceptual network characterized by multi-pathways,multi-node connections.
