Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo to work through a maze is described. Suggested programs to help students learn to debug programs are also included, along with the story of the original "computer bug." (MNS)

Peer reviewedBaroody, Arthur J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
The informal subtraction strategies that children develop are discussed in detail, with the role of the counting-down strategy described. Problems and remedies for difficulties caused by counting backward and the double count are also presented. (MNS)

Peer reviewedClark, H. Clifford – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Diagnostic evaluation is a major way to help students overcome errors. How such evaluation can be done is discussed, with comments on what should be checked and recorded by the teacher. (MNS)

Peer reviewedEngelhardt, Jon M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Four basic types of student errors in computation are noted and described. These are: (1) mechanical, (2) careless, (3) conceptual, and (4) procedural. It is felt many teachers deal with all errors as if they were of the unhabituated procedural type, with not enough attention given to other possibilities. (MP)

Peer reviewedKnifong, J. Dan; Burton, Grace M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
The need to provide understandable problems and ways to help children understand problems are explored. An interview with a sixth grader depicts his incorrect strategies and leads to suggestions for teaching problem solving using a range of mathematical models for each operation. (MNS)

Peer reviewedMcAloon, Ann, Ed.; Robinson, G. Edith, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Delineates and describes four types of questions which may help teachers learn more about student understanding, namely, silent questions, oral questions, written questions, and students' questions. (PK)
