Peer reviewedRea, Robert E.; Reys, Robert E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1971
Data were collected from 727 entering kindergarteners in the St. Louis, Missouri area by application of the Comprehensive Mathematics Inventory (CMI). Test items and the portion of pupils correctly answering the questions are shown in four tables, divided into subgroups. Data obtained can be used by teachers in planning appropriate learning…

Peer reviewedKamii, Constance; Clark, Faye B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1997
Describes a study in which 383 children in grades 1 through 5 were individually interviewed to find out at what point they construct unit iteration out of transitive reasoning. Indicates that most children construct unit iteration out of transitive reasoning by fourth grade. Suggests a better approach to the teaching of measurement that presents…

Peer reviewedBrown, Sue – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Presents results of 46 randomly selected children's performance measurement and partitive division problems when remainders are zero, nonzero but not used in the solution, and nonzero and used in the solution. Results indicate that children demonstrate an understanding of division prior to formal instruction. (MDH)
