Bechtel, Robert D.; Weaver, J. Fred – 1976
This study focused on (1) the relation or transition between the measurement and partitive settings for division, and (2) the study of these two interpretations in general case where the remainder is not necessarily zero. Ninety-four second-grade pupils from four classrooms (two in each of two schools) were presented, through individual…

To ascertain if children's use of manipulatives and/or the teacher's presentation of the problem in parts (chunking) affect children's ability to model and/or solve addition and/or subtraction problems, 146 first-grade subjects were administered the Houston Addition and Subtraction Problem-Solving Test which provided accuracy and modeling scores…

Peer reviewedBana, Jack; Nelson, Doyal – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1978
Children attempted a division problem in one of four distraction settings: minimal, situational, color-attribute, or spatial-numerical. The effects of both grade level and distraction setting in problem-solving performance were highly significant, with children who used a manipulative approach being more prone to distraction than those using a…

Peer reviewedWillcutt, Bob – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Multibase arithmetic blocks are used to investigate the minimum number of blocks of each size to make a square of a given size in a given base. Generalizations are made to any size and any base through pattern recognition. The problem is extended to rectangles, cubes, and rectangular solids. (LS)

Peer reviewedNelson, I. Doyal; Kirkpatrick, Joan – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Yearbook, 1975
Characteristics of good problems for primary school children are described and illustrated in discussions of sample problems. A collection of problems meeting these criteria is presented and annotated, and the organization of the classroom for problem-solving activities is discussed. (SD)
