Kratzer, Richard Oren – 1971
The purpose of this study was to compare the repeated subtraction method of long division of a partitioning distributive method, both taught by recording manipulation of popsicle sticks. Two instructional units were prepared. Twelve fourth grade classes were used, with six being taught one approach and six using the other. Tests consisting of…

Download full textZander, Del; And Others – 1972
Evaluation sheets and developmental checklists, prepared by three special education departments, are provided to facilitate continuous measurement of student progress in elementary school mathematics. One hundred forty-three objectives are given, and each is followed by a continuum-oriented set of worksheet-type pages on mathematics skills. The…

Peer reviewedBachrach, Beatrice – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
The author describes a technique for teaching various aspects of the subtraction algorithm (e.g., regrouping, borrowing) by relating them to the use of money. (SD)

McIntosh, Alistair – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Children are asked to describe the subtraction process or to describe a context in which subtraction may be used. (JLH)

Peer reviewedRuais, Ronald W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
An algorithm is given for the addition and subtraction of fractions based on dividing the sum of diagonal numerator and denominator products by the product of the denominators. As an explanation of the teaching method, activities used in teaching are demonstrated. (MN)

Ellerbruch, Lawrence W.; Payne, Joseph N. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
A teaching sequence provides a guide to instruction on initial concepts of fractions, equivalent fractions, and addition with fractions. (MN)

Inskeep, James E., Jr. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
How teachers can diagnose difficulties with computation is discussed, with emphasis on how to develop diagnostic tests. How to use such tests to plan remediation is considered in terms of several types of errors. (MN)

Peer reviewedWheatley, Grayson H.; McHugh, Daniel O. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1977
The authors attempt to determine the effects of the use of direct and "combinations of tens" methods of two column-addition, ability, and grade level as factors in column addition efficiency. (MN)

Peer reviewedCarraher, Terezinha Nunes; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1987
Sixteen Brazilian third graders aged 8-13 were given problems involving multidigit computation. School-taught algorithms were likely to be used in school-taught problems, with little carry-over to real problem situations, but resulted in more incorrect answers. (MNS)
