Problems with the Basic Facts May Not Be the Problem.

Brumfield, Robert D.; Moore, Bobby D.

Arithmetic Teacher, v33 n3 p17-18 Nov 1985

Fourth-grade students in Title I mathematics took 40-problem tests to determine types of persistent errors made in addition and subtraction. Tests, administered to 117 students (addition) and 104 students (subtraction), were analyzed for basic fact, random, or procedural errors. Findings are reported and discussed, and recommendations for instruction are offered. (JN)
