This textbook is a course in elementary arithmetic. It stresses mental as well as written exercises. Addition and subtraction are first presented together, and later multiplication and division.

This book is for boys and girls who know the numbers from one to thirty thoroughly, who can count to one thousand, who know something of the multiplication tables of two, three, four, five, six, ten, and twelve, and who understand the simplest facts about fractions. This book is both to be read and to be studied. It calls for oral recitation and…

Activities that can be used for maintenance of computational skills and can lead to the discovery of a pattern verifiable by an algebraic procedure are noted. The language of algebra is used in nonroutine settings, with several challenges for further exploration. (MP)

This book is designed to introduce and provide motivational practice on basic multiplication facts for students in grades 2-6. The facts are presented in order from 0 through 12, with activities designed to review previously presented facts at three points. A test is provided. Searches, magic squares, mazes, and puzzles are among the activities…

This textbook is designed to teach the principles of Arithmetical Science as far as they are involved in the elementary processes, and to secure a reasonable degree of accuracy and rapidity in expressing numbers and computing results. This work presents at first the idea of numbers connected with visual representations of objects; afterward, when…

This book of supplemental exercises is one of a series of books designed to provide educational materials for students in addition to the instructional texts in the Adult Learning Skills Program. Exercises in this basic level book are for the mathematics subject area. Course numbers and exercise topics are: 301 (vocabulary and reading in math,…

Four worksheets and teaching suggestions are presented, with the focus on mental computation for levels 2-3; factors, levels 3-4; and nonroutine problems, levels 5-6 and 7-8. (MNS)

An unusual way of using the long multiplication algorithm to solve problems is presented. It is conceptually harder, since it involves negative numbers but is easier to perform once mastered, since the size of the multiplication table required is smaller than the standard one. (MP)

Some number investigations on the multiplication table are provided by a sequence of four activity sheets. Beginning with examples of triangular and square numbers, the activities lead to the generalization. (MNS)

This section contains four worksheets for games on estimation. Impact, Crossfire, Fire One, and Fire Two each require the use of calculators to focus on place value, multiplication, or division. (MNS)

This guide contains classroom-tested problems designed to introduce and reinforce mathematical concepts in a quick, "fun" way. Activities emphasize the logic and reasoning skills needed to build a strong foundation in mathematics. The problems are thinking activities and require only upper elementary level mathematics skills. Activities are…

These four books are intended for use by individuals who need numeracy instruction as well as by those who help such individuals. Explanations are offered of how to do a large variety of calculations; different methods of getting the right answer are also provided. Book 1 focuses on numbers, how they are written, what they mean, how they are…

The purpose of this module is to acquaint students with the terms prime, composite, and factor. This is done by offering a definition of each term, then reinforcing its meaning through activities. (Author/MK)

These are some of the individual materials needed by students using the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program's Mathematics for the Upper Primary Grades, Part III. The book of "Worksheets" contains materials that are labeled with the same letter and number as the lessons with which they are to be used. The booklets "Festival of…

This module is the 11th in a series of 12 learning modules designed to teach occupational mathematics. Blocks of informative material and rules are followed by examples and practice problems. The solutions to the practice problems are found at the end of the module. Specific topics covered include multiplication, powers, calculator use, and roots.…
