Relationship between Computational Performance and Number Sense among Sixth- and Eighth-Grade Students in Taiwan.

Reys, Robert E.; Yang, Der-Ching

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v29 n2 p225-37 Mar 1998

Provides information on the number sense of Taiwanese students in grades six and eight. Indicates that student performance on questions requiring written computation was significantly better than on similar questions relying on number sense. Supports the need to look beyond correct answers when computational test results are reported. Contains 29 references. (Author/ASK)
