Van Den Brink, F. J. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1984
Investigated use of the bus context (boarding/leaving a bus) for introducing addition and subtraction in the first grade, as well as other contexts. Indicates that these contexts influence the use of numbers and operations and that they be taught separately before comparisons are made. Also outlines misconceptions related to bus-numbers. (JN)

Herrick, Margery – 1980
Twenty-seven supplemental lessons for primary students involving mathematical thought problems on addition, subtraction, and comparison (e.g., greater than and less than) are presented. Each of the lessons contains 10 or more problems which students either hear or read and then respond to either orally or on written answer sheets. The materials in…

Ralston, Goldie T. – 1982
This practicum was designed to improve and increase the problem-solving skills of third-grade students. Using a specially designed 20-item test consisting of mathematical word problems, a preassessment was made of the addition and subtraction skills of 843 third-grade students from high, middle, and low socioeconomic levels in four Florida…

Madell, Rob – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
The author argues that children not only can but should create their own computational algorithms and that the teacher's role is "merely" to help. How children in grades K-3 add and subtract is the focus of this article. Grouping, directionality, and exchange are highlighted. (MNS)

Kamii, Constance; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1993
Prior studies indicate that, given time to develop their own algorithms, primary students will process multidigit addition or subtraction problems from left to right. Gives evidence to support that idea, describes methods of getting students to invent their own algorithms, and discusses advantages of child-invented procedures. (21 references) (MDH)

Carey, Deborah A.; Campbell, Patricia F., Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Relates research findings on the way primary-grade students communicate mathematical ideas through the use of symbols to a framework for students to investigate the part-whole relationship of quantity. Discusses children's problem-solving abilities, linking word problems and symbols, the importance of context for understanding symbols, and the…
