Britt, Yvette Daniel; Feldman, David – 1982
The study investigated whether the pre-arrangement of math facts in spaced repetitions redundancy would increase the acquisition rate of a second grader with poor mathematics achievement. Baseline data were provided by observation of in-class math performance of addition sums zero through 18. In the experimental phase, worksheet problems were…

Matthews, Julia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1983
This experiment involved 176 London children aged six and seven. Their levels of attainment on subtraction were quickly and accurately established by two questions. Then teaching programs were used to help them attain prerequisite skills. To symbolize too soon is a danger to be avoided. (MNS)

Program Analysis of Grade 2 Stanford Achievement Test, Primary Level II. Spring 1984 Administration.
Hawaii State Dept. of Education, Honolulu. Office of Instructional Services. – 1985
This report was designed to provide information on the effectiveness of the mathematics instructional program in grade 2 in Hawaii, including identification of deficiency areas. The Stanford Achievement Test, Primary Level II, was administered in May 1984 to 12,106 students in grade 2. In general, these students performed better than the national…

Kouba, Vicky L.; And Others – 1980
Reported are data from the first individual interview conducted in 1978 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. The research program is attempting to relate pupil performance on selected arithmetic skills to pupil cognitive processes, instructional materials, and teachers' classroom behaviors. From three…

Kouba, Vicky L.; Moser, James M. – 1980
Reported are data from the second individual interview conducted in 1979 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. From three schools in Wisconsin that used the Developing Mathematical Processes program, l50 first-grade children were individually administered six problem types (two solvable by addition and…

Kouba, Vicky L.; Moser, James M. – 1980
Data are reported from the fifth individual interview conducted in 1980 as part of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. Ninety-six second-grade children in two schools in Wisconsin that used the Developing Mathematical Processes program were individually administerd six problem types (two solvable by addition…

Anick, Constance M.; And Others – 1981
Data are reported from the first and second individual interviews conducted in 1980 in the second phase of a 3-year study on addition and subtraction using verbal problem solving. The second phase is concerned with children's performance on verbal addition and subtraction problems which contain two-digit numbers, half of which require regrouping…

Baroody, Arthur J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Many children with learning handicaps have difficulty learning to write numerals. The source of numeral-writing difficulties and some things which can be done to teach or remedy this skill are presented. (MNS)

Bernard, Y. F. – 1986
This research is aimed at diagnosing the problem-solving skill of elementary school children and subsequently improving their competence in early mathematics. To reach this goal, a computer assisted instruction (CAI) program on open sentences, incorporating knowledge about students' problem solving strategies and misconceptions, was constructed.…

De Corte, Erik; Verschaffel, Lieven – 1986
Most studies of children's solution processes on simple addition and subtraction word problems have used individual interviews or the analysis of error patterns on paper-and-pencil tests as the primary data-gathering techniques. The present paper reports an investigation in which the contribution of eye-movement data was explored for studying…

Resnick, Lauren B. – 1984
Research on the psychological processes involved in early school arithmetic has now accumulated sufficiently to make it possible to construct a coherent account of the changing nature of the child's understanding of number during the early school years. This monograph presents an account of how number concepts are extended and elaborated as a…

Balka, Don S. – 1985
In 1985, Indiana joined the growing list of states assessing students' achievement at various levels. During February 1985, over 63,000 third-grade students took the 40-item Indiana Basic Competency Skills Test. A mean of 34.7 was achieved. An item analysis was performed for a random sample of 6,439 students (approximately 10%). Findings confirm…
