Children and Mathematics: 1: We Still Need Arithmetic

BBC One
on BBC One London

How can arithmetic be understood, enjoyed, and discovered? Fundamental to an understanding of long multiplication, for example, are several ideas-place value, simple multiplication, and distribution. Today's programme shows children developing these concepts and inventing techniques for long multiplication of their own.
Presented by Jim Boucher.
(Repeated on Monday at 4.5 p.m.)
