A Subtraction Experiment with Six and Seven Year Old Children.

Matthews, Julia

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v14 n2 p139-54 May 1983

This experiment involved 176 London children aged six and seven. Their levels of attainment on subtraction were quickly and accurately established by two questions. Then teaching programs were used to help them attain prerequisite skills. To symbolize too soon is a danger to be avoided. (MNS)
