Peer reviewedBass, Hyman – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Suggests that algorithms, both traditional and student-invented, are proper objects of study not only as tools for computation, but also for understanding the nature of the operations of arithmetic. (Author/NB)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Arithmetic, Computation, Concept Formation
Peer reviewedRandolph, Tamela D.; Sherman, Helene J. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2001
Presents several alternatives to customary algorithms for whole number arithmetic. Includes a brief history of each algorithm and discusses why each might be useful for particular kinds of children. (KHR)

Peer reviewedKouba, Vicky L.; Franklin, Kathy – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1995
Discusses mathematics education research on multiplication and division which implies that instruction should emphasize development of a sound conceptual basis for multiplication and division rather than memorization of tables and rules. Presents action research ideas. (10 references) (MKR)
