Chambris, Christine – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2018
This paper examines the existence and impact of theoretical mathematical foundations on the teaching and learning of whole numbers in elementary school in France. It shows that the study of the New Math reform--which was eventually itself replaced in the longer term--provides some keys to understanding the influence of mathematical theories on…

Salinas, Alejandra; Feldman, Ziv; Callis, Laura Marie Kyser; Chapin, Suzanne – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
Current research and policy statements regarding mathematics teacher preparation support shifting the focus of content courses for prospective elementary teachers (PTs) towards the mathematics that elementary teachers are expected to teach, or "content knowledge for teaching mathematics" (CKTM). This paper describes a research-based…

Korona, Matthew; Hathaway, Dawn – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2021
Although students and adults alike are constantly exposed to visuals both online and offline, merely being exposed to visuals does not guarantee visual literacy (Kedra & Zakeviciute, 2019). This study explored K12 teachers' perceptions regarding their personal and instructional use of online images as well as the influence of a visual literacy…

Madsen, Mark S. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The purpose of this research has been to generate learning environments that surrounded second and third grade students with bi-directional counting experiences, leading them to discover and come to an understanding of opposite numbers. While engaged in games and bi-directional activities, these young students eagerly counted, by jumping frogs…

Haistings, Jeanine L. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Technology and mathematics. manipulatives have been brought together in a new format. This joining has resulted in virtual manipulatives that are available on the Internet for students. Virtual manipulatives have been defined as computer based renditions of common mathematics manipulatives and tools. Just as a physical object can be flipped,…

Moser, Carl J. – Lutheran Education, 1980
"Chisanbop" is a Korean word which means finger calculation method. It is based on the Korean abacus, and its emphasis is on fives. By using Chisanbop techniques, one can add, subtract, multiply, and divide large numbers. Chisanbop can be taught most effectively to large groups in the second grade. (JN)

Lack, Brian – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The vision of K-12 standards-based mathematics reform embraces a greater emphasis on students' ability to communicate their understandings of mathematics by utilizing adaptive reasoning (i.e., reflection, explanation, and justification of thinking) through mathematics discourse. However, recent studies suggest that many students lack the…

Swafford, Jane; McGinty, Robert – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
A concrete approach to prime numbers is presented using rectangles and triangles to construct a building for each number so that each story represents a pair of factors and the triangular-shaped roof represents the number. (MP)

Usiskin, Zalman; Bell, Max – 1983
The first four chapters of a 14-chapter, three-volume work on arithmetical applications are contained in this document. Each chapter details the "use classes" of one broad arithmetical concept. (A "use class" of a concept is a set of examples of real world uses of the concept which share a common structure). Each chapter…
