Peer reviewedBass, Hyman – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2003
Suggests that algorithms, both traditional and student-invented, are proper objects of study not only as tools for computation, but also for understanding the nature of the operations of arithmetic. (Author/NB)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Arithmetic, Computation, Concept Formation
Peer reviewedRussell, Susan Jo – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2000
Examines the philosophy behind the issue of computational fluency in "Principles and Standards." (Author)

Peer reviewedMoldavan, Carla C. – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2001
Describes a multicultural enrichment project for 4th graders that highlights number systems and computation algorithms of various cultures. Discusses student responses and reactions. (KHR)

Peer reviewedKouba, Vicky L.; Franklin, Kathy – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1995
Discusses mathematics education research on multiplication and division which implies that instruction should emphasize development of a sound conceptual basis for multiplication and division rather than memorization of tables and rules. Presents action research ideas. (10 references) (MKR)

Peer reviewedCarroll, William M.; Porter, Denise – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1997
Describes teaching strategies in which children are encouraged to develop computational procedures that are meaningful to them. Authors state that classroom observation reveals most primary students to be capable of developing their own accurate solution procedures for multi-digit addition and subtraction as well as for simple multiplication and…
