Carney, Harold Francis – 1973
The purpose of the study was to compare the results obtained from a group of fourth-grade students taught to add and subtract rational numbers through the use of field postulates and other properties of whole numbers with fourth-grade students taught by a standard method using objects and the number line. Eight classes of 30 students each…
