Los Alamos Public Schools, NM. – 1974
This curriculum guide for grades K-6 is the second volume of a two-part series. It is meant to provide an ordered sequence of mathematical concepts from which teachers may organize an arithmetic program allowing for individual student progress with the greatest amount of individual attention. Each topic is arranged into levels based on the topic's…

Johnson, Ellie – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1985
Illustrated first is the case in which a wrong procedure (with fractions) leads to a correct result. Trying to justify why it works in this case and looking for similar patterns involved interesting algebraic considerations as well as use of computers. (MNS)

Behr, Merlyn J.; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1984
Fourth-grade students' understanding of the order and equivalence of rational numbers was investigated in 132 interviews during an 18-week teaching experiment. Six children were instructed individually and as a group at two sites, with instruction relying heavily on manipulative aids. Strategies used to compare fractions were identified. (MNS)

Deery, Ruth – Instructor, 1984
Three lessons are outlined which employ "scholar dollars," pretend bills and coins of different denominations that students can make and use to help solve subtraction, division, and decimal problems. The technique clarifies difficult mathematical concepts by making them less abstract. (PP)

Nabors, Wanda K. – 2002
This paper focuses on Michael, one of four seventh grade students who participated in a study involving a constructivist teaching experiment. In the study, manipulatives within a computer microworld were used to solve fractional reasoning tasks and tasks that involved concepts of rate, ratio, and proportionality. Pretest results are presented, and…

Tracy, Dyanne M.; Gibbons, Mary K. – 1999
This article describes constructivist techniques for teaching concepts of decimals and metrics through the combination of innovative measuring tools, activities and videos in classrooms. Even though the chronological age of the students involved differed--fifth and sixth graders or pre-service teachers--it was discovered that similar activities…
