Dear Luisa,


Jenny, another T2T Associate, thinks that the text that you are referring to
is called "Children's Mathematics - Cognitively Guided Instruction" because
she recognized the names of the authors that you have mentioned. If this is
correct that perhaps you are looking for more information about Cognitively
Guided Instruction otherwise referred to as "CGI." Jenny went on to share that
CGI is an elementary curriculum  in which students construct their own
knowledge of mathematics while solving problems.  The book discusses how
children learn mathematically.

If we are correct, then perhaps you will find these sites useful:
