Knights, George – Mathematics Teaching, 1973
Different methods of subtracting are described; the equal additions and the decomposition methods are discussed in detail. (DT)

Jeffery, Bob – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
This investigation concerns the repeated application of the rule "take the sum of the squares of the digits." (MP)

Zarzycki, Piotr – Mathematics Teaching, 2001
Presents research on students' use and understanding of algorithms in Poland. Concludes that there are detrimental side effects that stem from the teaching and learning of standard written algorithms. (ASK)

Brown, Stephen I. – Mathematics Teaching, 1974
The author advocates the classroom consideration of new algorithms as a means of leading students to make original hypotheses. He discusses a multiplication algorithm based on the differences between squares. (SD)

Girling, Michael – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
The author redefines basic numeracy as the ability to use a four-function calculator sensibly. He then defines "sensibly" and considers the place of algorithms in the scheme of mathematical calculations. (MN)

Hadar, Nitsa – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
Suggestions for teaching the concept of division by zero are given. (MK)

Mathematics Teaching, 1980
Four different types of problems from graph theory are presented and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Graphs, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Davies, H. B. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described is a case in which a young student stumbles upon the "integer" technique for subtraction which differs from the techniques of decomposition and equal addition. (MN)

Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Diagrams, History
Thomas, F. H. – Mathematics Teaching, 1974
With the advent of computers and electronic calculators, the role of logarithms in the curriculum is changing. An intuitive approach to logarithms, stressing the notion of isomorphism, is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Curriculum, Educational Change
Bennedbek, Birgitte – Mathematics Teaching, 1981
A process for helping students in the elementary grades develop their own algorithms for subtraction with carrying is described. Pupils choose their own times and ways to move from manipulative materials to written notation. (MP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Arithmetic, Computation, Elementary Education
Morley, Arthur – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described are two methods of calculating developed by the Dutch WISKOBAS Project: addition and subtraction with a loop abacus and multiplication using a grid model. (MP)
Descriptors: Addition, Algorithms, Cognitive Development, Computation
Cohen, Don – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Upper elementary school students created their own algorithms for finding products of whole numbers. The algorithms were similar to familiar ones for finding products involving 9 and 11. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
McIntosh, Alistair – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Children are asked to describe the subtraction process or to describe a context in which subtraction may be used. (JLH)
