Abstract

One purpose of teaching mathematics is to provide students with abstract models that will help them to analyze the phenomena that surround them. The greater the number of situations to which a model applies, the more fundamental it is, and the more useful a part of the student’s repertoire. Therefore a concept that is essentially simple, that has a vast number of applications, and that serves, the psychologists indicate, as a model of a fundamental learning process, would seem to be a prime candidate for inclusion in the school mathematics curriculum. Such is the set theoretic concept of partition.
