Peer reviewedNicholas, Susan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
A series of learning activities used in grades one and two to teach number conservation and arithmetic are presented in detail. The activity sequence is based on working with one-to-one correspondences for a lengthy period before introducing arithmetic operation. The author claims the approach is very successful. (SD)
