Peer reviewedPeterson, Wayne – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
A model of the division algorithm is described which relates step-by-step to the standard algorithm. Use of the model in instruction requires the distribution of a special worksheet. The focus of the instruction is on students sharing some amount of money equally among several friends. (MP)

Peer reviewedPatrick, Sarah E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Typical instruction of the division algorithm fails to justify why one brings down a number during the process. The construction and use of an aid is described which can be used to help explain the process of division to students. The aid emphasizes place-value aspects. (MP)

Peer reviewedTalton, Carolyn F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
The author suggests that, through using the outlined question model and suggested classroom activities, elementary students will improve their abilities to analyze routine, one-step word problems and make a plan for the solution. It is further argued that the same algorithm can be applied to multistep problems by using specified questions. (PK)

Boxall, Ron; And Others – 1979
This paper is designed to provide teachers with more guidance on how to help students become proficient in the recall of basic number facts. Activities and practices are placed in a sequence designed to aid all instructors. The learning of number facts is divided into three stages: (1) the development of basic number facts; (2) establishing number…
