When young children attempt to locate the positions of numerals on a number line, the positions are often logarithmically rather than linearly distributed. This finding has been taken as evidence that the children represent numbers on a mental number line that is logarithmically calibrated. This article reports a statistical simulation showing…

A class of 32 fourth graders, who studied inverse operations in grades 1-3, was given 3 written tests, each followed by an interview, to see how well they could simplify computations using inverse operations. Most could not evaluate 28 + 75 - 75, for example, without performing all operations. (GW)
