摘要
Understanding and use of mathematics can be promoted and assisted by the development of number sense. This paper reports on pre-service primary teacher education students' involvement in a Number Sense programme that was a component of a mathematics education unit. The results suggest that students develop and utilise multiple relationships among number, attempt to make sense of the mathematics investigated, and provide considered explanations for results achieved.
