Andersen, Lyle E.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Ways to combine the strengths of teacher and computer are suggested. Multiplication concepts and an algorithm for multiplication are taught in the same lessons. The computer is used as an electronic chalkboard to teach at a semiconcrete level. The computer program is included. (MNS)

Jensen, Robert J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Presented are several suggestions for teaching elementary school mathematics with technology. Activities use calculators and microcomputers for teaching multiples. (RH)

Carrier, Carol; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1985
Students from six fourth-grade classes were paired and randomly assigned to computer or worksheet treatments on multiplication and division. Those using computer-based drill-and-practice programs made greater gains on some tests of basic facts, but had no higher retention of algorithms. (MNS)

Mich, Peter T.; Nardine, Frank E. – 1986
Recall of multiplication number facts is a major educational objective in elementary grades, yet some children never acquire total mastery. A microcomputer multiplication number facts training program was developed which incorporated programmed instructional features including feedback, positive reinforcement, vanishing, branching and pairing.…

Edwards, Allen – 1983
A program for teaching "number sense" is suggested based on experiences in teaching numeracy to Papua New Guinean adults. Number sense starts out with some sort of "feel" about the size of a number and extends upwards to include any such mental arithmetical skills as can reasonably be incorporated in an appropriate program.…

Vacc, Nancy Nesbitt – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1992
Discusses methods for teaching mathematics skills and describes a study of third graders that compared student performances on worksheets, a microcomputer drill and practice program, and daily one-minute timing procedures of precision teaching for independent practice of multiplication facts. Results indicate that precision teaching was the most…
