Left-to-Right Computations and Estimation.
Lee, Kil S.
School Science and Mathematics, v91 n5 p199-202 May-Jun 1991
Traditional methods of teaching addition include algorithms that involve right-to-left procedures. This article describes efficient procedures for left-to-right addition and subtraction involving computation and computational estimation that reflect children's natural behaviors observed during activities with unifix cubes.
