A Comparison of Two Methods of Column Addition

Wheatley, Grayson H.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 7, 3, 145-154, May 76

Two methods of adding columns of single digits were compared in terms of the speed and accuracy with which sums are produced. The direct method (successive addition) was found to be better than the method of looking for combinations which sum to ten. (SD)
