Bates, Tom; Rousseau, Leo – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
The mathematics associated with division is discussed, working from a theorem for the real division algorithm. Real-world, geometric, and algebraic approaches are discussed, as are related topics. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education

Ettline, J. Fred – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Two difficulties that students have in computing with fractions are idenfitied. Then a procedure is described, stressing the identity element, that resolves these difficulties and increases students' understanding and retention. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions

Edge, Douglas – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
How the strategy of uninterrupted sustained silent reading, can be adapted as uninterrupted sustained arithmetic for use in mathematics classes and clinics is discussed. Several activities are described and illustrated. (MNS)
