A Prelude to The Science of Education
In this paper, written before the development of the Science of Education series, Caleb Gattegno begins with neutral and universal statements about education. In doing so, he outlines the facts on which the science is to be based. While acknowledging the unique qualities of every person, he discusses the inherent characteristics of human learning. Gattegno goes on to suggest a unit of measurement for learning, and identifies where, in various activities, these units are "spent."
This article led to The Science of Education series of books:

- The Science of Education Part 2A: Reading the Social and Human Challenge
- The Science of Education Part 2B: The Awareness of Mathematization
