An Examination, Across a Wide Range of Socioeconomic Circumstance, of a Format for Field Research of Experimental Numerical Computation Algorithms, an Instrument for Measuring Computational Power Under Any Concise Numerical Addition Algorithm, and the Differential Effects of Short Term Instruction in Two Experimental . . . . . .

Hutchings, Lloyd Benjamin – 1972

Individual fifth grade classrooms in five schools of differing socioeconomic levels were used in a study to analyze the reaction of the school to the experimental format, the adequacy of the test instrument, and the differential effects of the experimental treatments. Students were instructed in one of two experimental addition algorithms,…

Diagnosing Computational Difficulty in the Classroom

Inskeep, James E., Jr. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978

How teachers can diagnose difficulties with computation is discussed, with emphasis on how to develop diagnostic tests. How to use such tests to plan remediation is considered in terms of several types of errors. (MN)
