Hope, Jack – Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
It is argued that number sense develops through meaningful, purposeful activities involving calculating, measuring, and estimating. Understandings that must be developed with each are discussed. More emphasis needs to be placed on thinking about the various procedures that can be used to solve problems and on interpreting the answers. (MNS)

Talton, Carolyn F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
The author suggests that, through using the outlined question model and suggested classroom activities, elementary students will improve their abilities to analyze routine, one-step word problems and make a plan for the solution. It is further argued that the same algorithm can be applied to multistep problems by using specified questions. (PK)

Thornton, Carol A.; Smith, Paula J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
This article describes the instructional efforts and success of two first grade teachers who cooperated in a year-long subtraction study with a university research team. Performance profiles of students in the experimental and control groups are presented, and implications for teaching are discussed. (PK)
