Peer reviewedCarroll, William M.; Porter, Denise – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1997
Describes teaching strategies in which children are encouraged to develop computational procedures that are meaningful to them. Authors state that classroom observation reveals most primary students to be capable of developing their own accurate solution procedures for multi-digit addition and subtraction as well as for simple multiplication and…
