Used discourse
analysis to examine outcomes of enriching preschoolers' play with
artifacts emphasizing number symbols and to examine aspects of talk
significant for early mathematical understanding in classrooms.
Found that introducing the artifacts was associated with general
increase in talk and activity involving the materials, with evidence
suggesting that more mature forms of model usage were not being
used. (KB)
