Peer reviewedBidwell, James K. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1969
Descriptors: Addition, Arithmetic, Concept Formation, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedVan de Walle, John A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Argues that number concepts are not single-faceted ideas that children either have or do not have. Suggests that number concepts can be broadened by helping children develop a collection of relations. Examples of classroom activities are included. (PK)
Descriptors: Class Activities, Computation, Concept Formation, Early Childhood Education
Peer reviewedBeattie, Ian D. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
A series of nine activities that illustrate prime factorization and other elementary number theory ideas in concrete, representative, and symbolic form are described. (MNS)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedMaxim, George W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
Discusses how to help children acquire mathematical concepts and teach for precise mathematical concepts. Describes four activities to reinforce the concepts introduced. (YP)

Peer reviewedLappan, Glenda, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Two major ways to view the numbers to 100 are counting by ones and grouping by tens and ones. Research suggests that early understanding of numbers comes from counting and that place value instruction cannot be hurried. (PK)
Descriptors: Computation, Concept Formation, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education
Peer reviewedSinger, Rita – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Describes seven estimation and counting activities appropriate for an early childhood classroom. Includes suggested methods for going beyond the prescribed activities. (PK)

Peer reviewedLappan, Glenda, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Discussed is research on children's understanding of zero and infinity and teaching suggestions for improving understanding. (RH)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedFlinter, Paul F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
Difficulties encountered by a dyscalculia child are discussed and remedial activities suggested. Disturbances discussed are verbal, visual-spatial, reading and writing numbers, operations, understanding concepts, and place value. (MP)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Dyscalculia, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedLiedtke, W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
Thinking strategies that are related to counting are discussed and activities that are necessary for the understanding of number and counting are suggested. (Author/MP)
Descriptors: Computation, Concept Formation, Early Childhood Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedHuff, Sara C. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
A set of square counters is described as a simple way to introduce new concepts and as a concrete way for students to learn. (MP)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction
Peer reviewedTucker, Karen L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
This discussion of the mathematical potential of classroom events gives many examples of incidents that can be used for learning about topics such as one-to-one correspondence, counting, sets, ordering, time, fractions, money, shape, estimation, measuring, volume, area, number operations, and graphs. (MP)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions
Peer reviewedWest, Tommie A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
Several problems are identified: place values, time, even numbers, fractional parts, and temperature. Specific teaching suggestions are discussed. (MP)
