Scores and Forfeits--An Intuitive Model for Integer Arithmetic.

Liebeck, Pamela

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v21 n3 p221-39 Jun 1990

Children's responses to an alternative model over three lessons were described and their learning assessed in a posttest. Their responses and performances were compared to that of a similar group of children learning through a conventional number line model. The two models were compared from practical and theoretical viewpoints. (Author/CW)
