An Analysis of Computational Errors in the Use of Division Algorithms by Fourth-Grade Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stefanich, Greg P.; Rokusek, Teri – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Presents a study that analyzed errors made by randomly chosen fourth grade students (25 of 57) while using the division algorithm and investigated the effect of remediation on identified systematic errors. Results affirm that error pattern diagnosis and directed remediation lead to new learning and long-term retention. (MDH)

The Real Number System vs. a System Called 10-adic.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aslan, Farhad; Duck, Howard – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)
