Title: On learning about numbers (Some problems and speculations.)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is methodological and tutorial. It uses elementary number competence to show how reflection on the fine structure of familiar human abilities generates requirements exposing the inadequacy of initially plausible explanations. We have to learn how to organise our common sense knowledge and make it explicit, and we don't need experimental data so much as we need to extend our model-building know-how.
