Chang, Lisa – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Discusses ways of teaching integers to children who have a wide range of ability. The strategies involve not only the "right" answer but also such considerations as learning the meaning behind the operators, relating operations with integers to real-world situations, and finding a variety of ways to solve the problems.

Chandler, Arnold M., Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Three game activities are detailed. Informal work with addition and subtraction on a number line and graphing concepts are achieved with two simple dice games, and the distribution of monetary tokens is used to illustrate the division algorithm. (JP)

Sherrill, James M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
This study was implemented to test the relative effectiveness of two subtraction procedures (decomposition and equal addends) with respect to accuracy in solving subtraction problems requiring regrouping. Results favor the decomposition approach. (MP)
