Peer reviewedMaertens, Norbert; Schminke, Clarence – Arithmetic Teacher, 1971
The authors discuss the evaluation of mathematics learning at four levels: associative learning, concept learning, principle learning and problem solving. (MM)
Descriptors: Associative Learning, Elementary School Mathematics, Evaluation, Instruction
Peer reviewedDuea, Joan; Ockenga, Earl – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Calculators are seen to shift the student focus in problem-solving situations from "how to do it" to "what to do," by keeping computation from standing in the way when pupils write or solve problems. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Discovery Learning, Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedArnold, William R. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Teaching by learning activities is contrasted with teaching by objectives. Four types of learning activities are identified. (JT)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning
Peer reviewedFennema, Elizabeth H. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1972
A review of several studies on the role of concrete and symbolic models in facilitating the learning of mathematical ideas, and a discussion of their implications for instruction are presented. (DT)
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning, Instruction, Learning Theories
Peer reviewedWilson, Malcolm G. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1969
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Learning, Learning Activities, Mathematics
Peer reviewedMumme, Judith; Shepherd, Nancy – Arithmetic Teacher, 1990
The importance of teaching students to communicate mathematically is discussed. Examined are ways to develop this skill. Activities and open-ended questions are included. The use of physical materials, cooperative groups, listening skills, and writing are stressed. (KR)
Descriptors: Communication (Thought Transfer), Communication Skills, Cooperative Learning, Elementary Secondary Education
Peer reviewedDanforth, Marion McC. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
Some procedures used for teaching a learning-disabled child are suggested as good teaching practices for the regular classroom. (MP)
Descriptors: Achievement, Concept Formation, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction
Peer reviewedNoddings, Nel – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
The problems of using formalistic methods in the instruction of mathematics to elementary level children are discussed. Precision in mathematical language is not seen as a useful instructional tool, and functional modes of communication are stressed. (MP)
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Problems, Learning Theories
Peer reviewedAkaishi, Amy; Saul, Mark – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Presents seven scenes showing everyday classroom situations that give students the options of applying their own problem-solving strategies to solve everyday problems of life and enable them to experience mathematical power coming from self-initiated insights into mathematical concepts. (MDH)
Descriptors: Classroom Communication, Classroom Environment, Discovery Learning, Elementary Education
Peer reviewedPost, Thomas R. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning, Instruction, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedAiken, Lewis R. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
The role of language in learning mathematics is discussed. A variety of philosophical essays and research findings are cited as the author argues for the importance of language as a tool for understanding and creativity in mathematics. (SD)
Descriptors: Attitudes, Creativity, Discovery Learning, Elementary Education
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 reviewedSchultz, Karen A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Discusses: (1) different types of learning (concepts, properties, facts, procedures, algorithms, skills, and problem solving); (2) types of learning behaviors; and (3) types of representational models, considering concreteness, meaningfulness, and manipulation (active manipulation, passive manipulation, and nonmanipulation). (JN)

Peer reviewedKessler, Bernard M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1971
Descriptors: Algorithms, Discovery Learning, Induction, Learning
Peer reviewedBurns, Marilyn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Children at many levels enjoy using spinners to explore probabilities and practice predicting, tabulating and graphing outcomes, and observing results. Directions for making spinners, descriptions of several activities, and sample worksheets are provided. (SD)
