Kratzer, 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)
