he reflection paper should be based on the assigned readings on the role of language and culture in numerical and mathematical thinking development. Please focus on addressing the following:
1. For each of the assigned readings, summarize (a) their central research goal/question; (b) the language(s) and numerical/mathematical skills in question from their particular investigations; (c) tasks/measures they used to assess potential language/cultural effects on the given mathematical ability; and (d) main findings.
2. Give a synthesis (synthesized conclusions and main research findings across these readings) of what we learn from research from this perspective regarding the role of linguistic and cultural experiences in shaping mathematical thinking.
3. Your reflections and/or questions on the role linguistic and cultural experiences may play in the ways people develop to process numerical and mathematical information. Here are two examples just for your reference: (a) Given the evidence from the literature, do you believe the current field knowledge (e.g., theories, task design) about how people acquire numerical and mathematical concepts may largely reflect only a limited scope tied to only certain linguistic/cultural influences due to the way the field has been conducting the relevant research investigations? Give your thoughts on methodological topics like in sampling, ecological validity, generalizability, etc. and how they may be linked to studying mathematical thinking. (b) Do you agree or disagree that numerical and mathematical thinking is deeply intertwined with symbolic language systems which serve as a cognitive medium mediating the thinking process and products? Why or why not?
Please write in APA style (you may use the “APA Sample Paper_Examples of Formatting” under the “General Study Resources” module for guidance on APA formatting). This paper is typically 3-5 pages long (double-sided)
