Abstract
Many early childhood educators believe that students learn by doing. This belief is Mathematical Thought 2 often translated into having students engage in activities. Play is viewed as fundamental to learning, and children engage in using manipulatives. Students actively construct knowledge through play and by interacting with others and manipulatives. This is based on Piagetian philosophy which emphasizes fixed and invariant developmental stages through which children progress. There is an emphasis on keeping from pushing students before they are ready.
