Hurrell, Derek – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2017
When teaching the measurement attribute of time, most teachers are aware that just getting students to read a clock is a task with its own challenges, but is developing this skill and understanding enough? What else do teachers need to make sure they cover, in order to give students a chance of developing this important component of being a…

Brown, Scott A. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2016
The traditional technique for converting repeating decimals to common fractions can be found in nearly every algebra textbook that has been published, as well as in many precalculus texts. However, students generally encounter repeating decimal numerals earlier than high school when they study rational numbers in prealgebra classes. Therefore, how…

Henderson, Peter; Hodgen, Jeremy; Foster, Colin; Kuchemann, Dietmar – Education Endowment Foundation, 2017
This guidance report focuses on the teaching of mathematics to pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3. It is not intended to provide a comprehensive guide to mathematics teaching. We have made recommendations where there are research findings that schools can use to make a significant difference to pupils' learning, and have focused on the questions that…

Robichaux, Rebecca R.; Rodrigue, Paulette R. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Given the importance of algebra, middle school mathematics teachers have a responsibility to help students transition from understanding arithmetic to understanding the algebra that will be necessary for success in high school. One method of transition involves introducing algebraic concepts in concrete ways using meaningful contexts. The series…

Bobis, Janette – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2008
Number sense has been recognised as central to young children's development of mathematics for a number of decades. A student with a "good" sense of number normally has a thorough understanding of relationships among numbers and operations--being able flexibly to partition and combine numbers in convenient ways to allow appropriate…

Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Discusses: (1) use of matrix techniques to write secret codes (includes ready-to-duplicate worksheets); (2) a method of multiplication and division of polynomials in one variable that is not tedius, time-consuming, or dependent on guesswork; and (3) adding and subtracting rational expressions and solving rational equations.

Pereira-Mendoza, Lionel – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Describes activities designed as self-checking tasks involving practice with whole number operations. Materials consist of a set of boards partitioned into 36 squares; sets of 36 sentence/picture cards correspond with each board. A correct sentence or picture is then formed as students correctly perform the necessary mathematical operations. (JN)
