Going "Back to Basics" in Mathematics Won't Prove Who's "Right," but Who's "Left" (Brain Duality and Mathematics Learning).

Elliott, Portia C.

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v11 n2 p213-19 Apr-Jun 1980

The aims of the article are: (1) to outline the general tenets of the "back to basics" movements; (2) to indicate how these tenets go counter to emerging research on hemispheric specialization; and (3) to suggest methods which are brain-compatible and likely to produce competent creative problem solvers.
