Peer reviewedCrouse, Richard – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A game similar to the television game "Concentration" can be effectively used for drill on computation such as equivalence of fractions. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning
Peer reviewedMyers, Ann C.; Thornton, Carol A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Learning activities involving teaching different techniques that can help a child learn the basic facts are described. (JT)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction
Peer reviewedPeck, Donald M.; Jencks, Stanley M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1981
Research on the conceptual notions of fractions held by students at various levels of schooling is discussed. A method of approach to instructing students on fractions that seems to hold considerable promise is also covered in detail. (MP)
