Peer reviewedHohlfeld, Joe; Schwandt, Lynn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Descriptors: Arithmetic, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction
Peer reviewedBright, George W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
Two ideas to use as a bulletin board display as an activity center, or as worksheets emphasizing whole number concepts are described. (JT)
Descriptors: Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedLoomis, Alden H. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
Some patterns resulting from certain operations on numbers are discussed, analyzed, and explained. A method for predicting the outcome of these operations for any number is developed.

Peer reviewedFeinstein, Irwin K. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
A model for multiplication is described and used to discuss the properties of division. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Curriculum, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewedLeutzinger, Larry; Nelson, Glenn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
Learning activities are given for instruction in the skill of associating numbers with sets of dots, a skill intermediate between counting and higher number concepts. (MP)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Activities, Mathematics Curriculum
Peer reviewedBurns, Marilyn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Completing these worksheets leads students to discover patterns in the distribution of even numbers and numbers obtained by successive additions of 9 (primary grades). Worksheets for intermediate grades involve counting the number of factorizations for integers, and addition of the first nine whole numbers. (SD)

Peer reviewedLangford, Verity – Children's Literature in Education, 1994
Discusses the relationship between the world of mathematics and the real world through a consideration of Mitsumasa Anno's exploration of the two different yet connected worlds in five picture books. (SR)
Descriptors: Childrens Literature, Elementary Education, Mathematics, Numbers
Peer reviewedFlexer, Roberta J. – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1989
A strategy is presented for teaching arithmetic to students with mental retardation, based on subitizing, skill of recognizing number of objects in a set without actually counting, and pattern recognition. The strategy helps children understand concept of addition by representing number configurations on 5-frames and 10-frames, and reduces need…

Peer reviewedHutcheson, James W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A puzzle involving computation and pattern observation is described. (SD)
Descriptors: Bulletin Boards, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematical Enrichment
Peer reviewedWyvill, Ron – Mathematics in School, 1983
Activities with triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, and octagonal numbers are briefly discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Activities, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedChilcote, Elinor; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Games and activities, which are fun, practical, and related to the child's world, are presented. Suggestions are given for building skills in estimating lengths, guessing how many, recognizing patterns in counting, multiplying with "waffles," classifying by attributes, and adding and subtracting with special cards, relays, and play…

Peer reviewedYates, Daniel S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
An activity similar to magic squares is described. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedDockweiler, Clarence J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Several experiences with palindrome numbers are given, each leading to the "Law of 11." Conjectures for the reader to consider are included. (MNS)
