Peer reviewedLaing, Robert A.; Meyer, Ruth Ann – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
A survey of general mathematics students whose teachers were taking an inservice workshop revealed that they had not yet mastered division. More direct introduction of the standard division algorithm is favored in elementary grades, with instruction of transitional processes curtailed. Weaknesses in transitional algorithms appear to outweigh…

Peer reviewedMacDonald, T. H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1977
The author develops a four-stage model for concept-internalization. The stages are: (1) concrete structure; (2) linguistic structure; (3) algorithm; and (4) mastery. The model is related to teaching methods and the teaching of long division is examined in detail. (SD)
