Peer reviewedHopkins, Martha H. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Presents five activities focusing on mental computation and estimation for the K-3, 3-5, 4-6, and 6-8 grade levels that require the student, acting as a judge, to review solutions to problems and to pronounce and justify a verdict. Provides suggested materials, questions, possible extensions, answers, and worksheets for each activity. (MDH)

Peer reviewedBattista, Michael T. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1994
Discusses ways that calculators and computer microworlds, such as LOGO and Shape Makers, can be used as tools for exploration, problem solving, and empowerment in school mathematics. Includes suggestions for classroom activities. (Contains 12 references.) (MKR)

Peer reviewedDavis, Robert B. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Examined is the situation in which pupils invent mathematics on their own and teachers' reactions to this situation. The assimilation of students' original ideas into correct mathematical concepts is discussed. (CW)

Peer reviewedGreenwood, Jonathan Jay – Arithmetic Teacher, 1993
Offers seven criteria for developing mathematical thinking, plus suggestions for teaching and assessing students' progress that are compatible with each learning criterion. Provides evaluation sheets that help the teacher assess and grade students on the criteria. (10 references) (MDH)

Peer reviewedAllinger, Glenn D., Ed.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1990
Presented is a detailed review of eight computer software packages. Strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations for each game are listed. Mathematical and thinking skills, problem solving, drill and practice, procedural activities, decision making, understanding money, and basic skills are emphasized. (KR)

Peer reviewedSherman, Helene J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Presents four innovative game-oriented activities designed to reinforce computational and place value skills involving whole and rational numbers. The games ask students to use randomly chosen numerals to formulate problems involving given operations or concepts whose responses come closest to target responses. (MDH)
Descriptors: Addition, Computation, Division, Drills (Practice)
Peer reviewedKamii, Constance; Lewis, Barbara Ann – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Presents a study of 87 second graders to demonstrate that achievement tests in primary mathematics emphasize pupil's lower-order thinking by comparing answers to interview questions from constructivist and traditionally instructed groups. Results indicated that constructivist instructed students demonstrated superior higher-order thinking on tasks…
