Wright, Robert J.; Ellemor-Collins, David; Tabor, Pamela D. – SAGE Publications (CA), 2011
This fourth book in the Mathematics Recovery series equips teachers with detailed pedagogical knowledge and resources for teaching number to 7 to 11-year olds. Drawing on extensive programs of research, curriculum development, and teacher development, the book offers a coherent, up-to-date approach emphasizing computational fluency and the…

Hedren, Rolf – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1985
Studied for three years were eight Swedish classes with pupils aged 10-12 using calculators whenever they could be of use, along with experimental textbooks. The experimental classes were as competent as control classes in mental arithmetic and calculations with simple algorithms, and had better understanding of numbers and problem solving. (MNS)

Sowder, Judith T., Ed.; Schappelle, Bonnie P., Ed. – 1989
Research on computational estimation and mental computation has received a considerable amount of attention from mathematics educators during the past decade. These proceedings resulted from a meeting to explore dimensions of number sense and its related fields. The participants came from three groups: mathematics educators actively pursuing…

Yoshida, Hajime; Kuriyama, Kazuhiro – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Proposes the hypothesis that preschoolers have number concepts based on the numbers 1-5 rather than on the decimal structure. Results suggest that children understand numbers to 5 as a privileged anchor. Proposes a new model for a representational system of numbers. (Author/DR)

Cowan, Richard – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1987
Four experiments were conducted to study explanations of why children make relative number judgments inconsistent with their counting. Results are discussed in relation to judgments children make when they use matching, and in light of Klahr and Wallace's (1973) account of number development. (PCB)

Sophian, Catherine – 1986
This study systematically examined developmental changes in the flexibility of preschool children's counting skills by assessing their use of counting to solve different kinds of quantitative problems at several preschool age levels. Three principal kinds of quantitative problems were considered: (1) quantifying a given set; (2) generating a set…

Schonfeld, Irvin Sam – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Compares the Genevan and Cattell-Horn theories of intelligence and describes both similarities and differences. Describes a study investigating the relation of the Piagetian operative level to the child's ability to use crystallized solution procedures (aids) in making elementary numerical comparisons. (HOD)

Romberg, Thomas A., Ed. – 1981
This document contains 15 research papers presented at the Fourth and Fifth Annual Conferences of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics. The papers are organized into four sections. In part I, four position papers by Romberg, Engelhardt, Ashlock, and Heddens reflect research ideas which underlie the Council. Part II…

Sharma, Mahesh C. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1986
Evidence on learning problems due to dyscalculia is surveyed. Definitions, factors responsible for dyscalculia, split-brain research and hemispheric roles, mathematics learning problems and personality, materials for instruction, and levels of knowing mathematics are among the topics discussed with an extensive list of references. (MNS)

Lappan, Glenda, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Described is a procedure for teaching children to learn to count on with finger patterns after they have learned to count with objects. The technique has been found to be successful with children of all ability levels at grades one and two. (RH)

Hart, Kathleen – Mathematics in School, 1987
Describes a research project designed to monitor the transition from work based on concrete materials to the more formalized aspect of mathematics found in secondary schools. The topic of subtraction was chosen by three teachers who were involved in the investigation. (PK)

Briars, Diane; Siegler, Robert S. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Investigates preschoolers' knowledge of counting principles by examining their ability to discriminate between features essential for correct counting and features typically present but unessential. Skill in executing the standard counting procedure was found to precede knowledge of the underlying principle. (Author/AS)

Callahan, Leroy G.; Clements, Douglas H. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1984
Data on sex differences in rote-counting ability for 4722 first-grade children are presented. How different data-gathering methods and different statistical treatments of the data can yield differing results are indicated. (MNS)

Sharma, Mahesh C., Ed.; Loveless, Eugene J., Ed. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1986
The work of Ladislav Kosc on dyscalculia is presented. His work on meanings, forms, terminology, diagnosis, correction principles, factors in mathematical ability, language dysfunctions, and publications are each included. (MNS)

Cowan, Richard – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Studies five-year-olds' relative number judgements of small and large number displays with and without perceptual aids. Children were found to respond to local rather than global density differences and to benefit from the provision of perceptual aids on both small and large number displays. (Author/AS)
