This guidance report focuses on the teaching of mathematics to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to mathematics teaching. We have made recommendations where there are research findings that schools can use to make a significant difference to pupils' learning, and have focused on the questions that…

Peer reviewedBlaeuer, David A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1984
Several examples are given to show that the calculator can be a tool to enhance mathematical understanding. Expressing rational numbers (fractions) as decimals provides the content focus. (MNS)

Peer reviewedKieren, Thomas E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
The mechanisms, images, and language needed for the development of rational-number ideas are briefly discussed. Such ideas are sophisticated and different from natural-numbers ideas. (MNS)

Peer reviewedPayne, Joseph N. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Questions about teaching rational numbers are discussed, dealing with when to teach the meaning of fractions and of decimals, when and how to teach computation with fractions and with decimals, and other issues. (MNS)

Heppa, Victor – 1978
This student manual is concerned with the practical application of mathematics as used by masons. The manual's design allows students to work at their own pace. Included in each of the five units are individual lesson sheets with written instructions and explanations. Each information sheet states that topic's objectives, information about the…

Peer reviewedLester, Frank K., Jr. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
It is suggested that elementary school students find rational numbers troublesome because some teachers have an inadequate understanding of rational number concepts and poor facility with rational numbers skills. How to help them overcome difficulties, develop concepts, and know what topics to emphasize are discussed. (MNS)
