Peer reviewedHawkin, Wendy – Mathematics in School, 1988
Describes activities in a mathematics class for six-year-olds. The article makes several points, including: working independently is very absorbing; investigative work is as important as algorithms; and children working in groups can achieve more than even the brightest child working alone. (PK)

Peer reviewedSchaefer, Sister M. Geralda – Arithmetic Teacher, 1981
Alternative algorithms, "tricks," and shortcuts are viewed as ideally suited for inclusion in a systematic program of practice because of their motivational effect and the mental stimulation involved in discovering why they work. (MP)
