The article offers practical games and "tricks" to help remediate deficits in arithmetic and mathematics at the elementary school level. Games include using the fingers to calculate, lattice multiplication, dividing paper into equal columns, square games, code cracking games, and fraction dominoes. (Author/DB)

This book introduces case studies in mathematics education that provide teachers with opportunities to look at someone else's teaching in an objective way and analyze their own teaching with a critical eye. In addition, this book addresses many of the topics considered the hardest to teach and learn, including place value, number sentences, basic…

A teaching intervention study was conducted with sixth grade students to explore the interconnections between students' growing understanding of arithmetic expressions and beginning algebra. Three groups of students were chosen, with two groups receiving instruction in arithmetic and algebra, and one group in algebra without arithmetic. Students…

This textbook is an introductory mathematics course. It is a treatise of arithmetic, containing all the practical parts thereof; both in whole numbers, vulgar fractions, and decimals; likewise the theory of numbers, and their principal properties, demonstrated in a plain and easy manner.

This arithmetic textbook uses small concrete numbers to lead pupils to understanding numbers' properties and relations. This work is intended as a connecting link between the Primary and Written Arithmetics of the Author. It presents a mental analysis of Arithmetic adapted to the younger pupils by its easy gradations, and to advanced pupils by its…

Results supported the hypothesis that there was no significant difference in pupil performance on arithmetic problems presented in different forms. (Author)

Presented are worksheets designed to be duplicated and used in the classroom. Included are sheets for three levels: (a) grades 1-3, addition drill using a dot puzzle; (b) grades 4-6, multiplication drill using a cross-number puzzle; (c) grades 6-8, practice with fractions using a number grid. (RS)
