Peer reviewedCurcio, Frances R.; Schwartz, Sydney L. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1998
Suggests that issues surrounding the teaching of algorithms focus not on whether to teach them but rather on balancing and connecting the development of algorithmic thinking. Presents an approach to help students develop their algorithmic thinking. Contains 18 references. (ASK)

Peer reviewedKouba, Vicky L.; Franklin, Kathy – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1995
Discusses mathematics education research on multiplication and division which implies that instruction should emphasize development of a sound conceptual basis for multiplication and division rather than memorization of tables and rules. Presents action research ideas. (10 references) (MKR)
