Perry, A. D.; Stacey, Kaye – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1994
Attempted to establish the incidence of using taught algorithms versus invented methods of subtraction in (n=1,370) male secondary school students and to relate the use of invented methods to age, mathematical achievement, and lateral thinking ability. Use of invented algorithms increased with age. (23 references) (MKR)
