Peer reviewedIkeda, Hitoshi; Ando, Masue – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Manipulative Materials
Peer reviewedCacha, Frances B. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A modified method of regrouping the minuend for subtraction is described. This more flexible method decreases the number of steps in the subtraction process and in checking the regrouping. (SD)

Peer reviewedEttline, J. Fred – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Two difficulties that students have in computing with fractions are idenfitied. Then a procedure is described, stressing the identity element, that resolves these difficulties and increases students' understanding and retention. (MNS)

Moise, Edwin E. – Curriculum Review, 1984
Defines psychic intelligence as an inclination all children possess to use whatever cognitive intelligence they have for learning, adaptive behavior, and pleasure; strongly suggests that algorithmic drill usually damages the mentality of children by stifling psychic intelligence; and discusses the use of pocket calculators to prevent this effect.…

Peer reviewedKratzer, Richard O.; Willoughby, Stephen S. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1973
Twelve fourth-grade classes in two schools were taught division using either the subtractive approach to the Greenwood algorithm or a partitioning approach to the standard algorithm. Analysis of class means on immediate, retention, and delayed retention tests indicated that use of the standard algorithm was more effective. (JP)

Peer reviewedQuast, W. G. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1972
A distinction is made between an algorithm and the justification for the algorithm. Examples of both are given for the operations with whole numbers. (DT)

Weinstein, Marian Sue – 1973
The purpose of this study was to determine differences in achievement of fifth-grade students in 16 classes taught two of four mathematical algorithms by one of four instructional strategies. Computational skills and ability to extend the algorithm were tested. The instructional strategies were: pattern, algebraic, pattern followed by…
