Peer reviewedStuart, Maureen; Bestgen, Barbara – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
An introductory multiplication lesson, used successfully with second graders, is detailed. The method takes advantage of prior knowledge acquired in a geometry unit of study. The lesson is seen to have potential for other grades teaching multiplication for remedial work, and explaining the commutative law. (MP)

Peer reviewedCox, Anne Mae – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Magic squares are used both as a vehicle for arithmetic drill and the development of mathematical concepts for second-grade students. By searching for patterns within the squares, additional number concepts are developed along with the concept of symmetry. (JP)

Peer reviewedHarel, Guershon; Behr, Merlyn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Presents a problem solving strategy developed by a second grade student that goes beyond modeling an intuitive or informal interpretation of an operation to solve division problems. Concludes that good teaching should build on pupil's existing preinstruction knowledge and recognize a pupil's attempts at creative solutions. (MDH)

Peer reviewedBinswanger, Richard – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
A lesson using Logo was found to be effective when working with concepts of division. It emphasizes relationships between arithmetic and geometry in a novel way, and has been used with students in grades two and four. (MNS)

Peer reviewedSpencer, Patricia J.; Lester, Frank K. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1981
An attempt to make problem solving a real part of the mathematics program in a second-grade classroom is described. It is felt that teachers can aid children in establishing attitudes of willingness to take risks and tackle unfamiliar tasks by focusing early on problem solving as a process. (MP)

Peer reviewedJoyner, Jeanne M.; Vacc, Nancy Nesbitt – Arithmetic Teacher, 1994
Discusses North Carolina's alternative assessment program for first and second grades, the process of implementation, knowledge gained from the program, and implications for implementing Standard 6 (focusing on analyzing and interconnecting teaching and learning) of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Professional Teaching Standards.…
