Peer reviewedFuson, Karen C. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Provides an alternative to traditional instruction in multiplication and division to develop computational fluency in students. (Author/NB)
Descriptors: Arithmetic, Computation, Concept Formation, Division
Peer reviewedWickett, Maryann S. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Focuses on children making sense of multiplication. In an activity called "Silent Multiplication," students use what they know about easier multiplication problems to solve increasingly difficult, related problems mentally. (Author/NB)

Peer reviewedKouba, Vicky L.; Franklin, Kathy – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1995
Discusses mathematics education research on multiplication and division which implies that instruction should emphasize development of a sound conceptual basis for multiplication and division rather than memorization of tables and rules. Presents action research ideas. (10 references) (MKR)
