Arithmetic Computation Scores: or Can Children in Modern Mathematics Programs Really Compute?

Garigliano, Leonard J.

School Science and Mathematics, 75, 5, 399-412, May-Jun 75

Responding to publicity about declining computation scores on standardized tests, the author conducted a study comparing October with May testing and timed with untimed tests. He concluded that students today are able to compute but do so more slowly than earlier students and earn higher scores on applications and concepts. (SD)
