Carrillo-Gallego, Dolores; Maurandi-López, Antonio; Olivares-Carrillo, Pilar – Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education, 2023
The mechanisms of dissemination of the counting frames in the teaching of mathematics in Spain during the nineteenth century are studied. José Mariano Vallejo and Pablo Montesino proposed them in order to facilitate an arithmetic initiation based on intuition, following Pestalozzi's proposals. The diffusion channels considered were pedagogical…

Garnett, Katherine; Fleischner, Jeannette E. – 1980
The relationship between automatization ability (the tendency for repetitive routine aspects of behavior to become so overlearned that a minimum of conscious effort and attention is necessary for rapid efficient execution), as measured by the Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) Test, and proficiency in arithmetic basic fact computation was investigated…

Bass, 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)

Phillips, Linda J. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Suggests ways to increase students' computational fluency using concrete materials, engaging tasks, and reflection time to increase number automaticity, flexibility in thinking about numbers, and use of efficient problem-solving strategies to find sums and differences. (Author/NB)

Neuman, Dagmar – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1999
Uses interviews with 72 pupils in grades 2-6 to investigate awareness of the relation between situation and computation in simple quotitive and partitive division problems as informally and formally experienced. Concludes that formal division, understood as related to everyday situations, only depends in interplay with informal knowledge.…

Kopp, Katherine H.; Stowitschek, Joseph J. – Teacher Education and Special Education, 1982
Teacher planning procedures employing percentage-based measurement summaries and subsequent implementation of the results of planning with and without error analysis resulted in moderate increases in correct mathematics computation of learning disabled 10-13 year olds. No significant differences were found for presence or absence of error…

Fleischner, Jeannette E.; And Others – 1980
The study involving 183 learning disabled and 852 nondisabled children (grades 3 through 6), investigated students' performance on arithmetic basic fact problems in addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Three separate group administered tests were devised, covering 98 basic addition, 98 subtraction, and 98 multiplication facts. Children were…

Isaacson, Douglas K.; And Others – Academic Therapy, 1987
Six easy-to-learn strategies are offered to help students with learning problems in mathematics make error-free subtraction calculations when either the subtrahend or remainder is a 9, 8, or 7 and when the minuend is in the teens. (CB)

Sutherland, Peter – Early Child Development and Care, 1993
Found that, after extracting an arithmetic problem from a real situation and working out an answer, 6- to 12-year-olds with learning difficulties in math were unable to reapply the answer to the situation. Also found that the children, in a hypothetical situation, were unable to use token money, or to do calculations on paper or with an electronic…

Spann, Mary Beth – Instructor, 1999
Describes an elementary arithmetic project that involves reading, writing, and counting skills. Students collaboratively create a tooth-shaped book designed to strengthen their counting skills as they celebrate losing baby teeth. The article also includes other activities to further extend the project. (SM)
