Davis, Edward J. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Ten principles to apply in teaching children to memorize basic facts are discussed. (MN)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Guidelines
Merseth, Katherine Klippert – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Helping teachers to build a strong bridge from concrete experiences to algorithms is the focus. A detailed sequence of activities is described. (MN)
Descriptors: Addition, Algorithms, Computation, Elementary Education
Hazekamp, Donald W. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Instructional sequences are presented for teaching two-digit multiplication and division with one- and two-digit divisors using a base-oriented approach. (MN)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Division, Elementary Education
Ellerbruch, Lawrence W.; Payne, Joseph N. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
A teaching sequence provides a guide to instruction on initial concepts of fractions, equivalent fractions, and addition with fractions. (MN)
Descriptors: Addition, Algorithms, Cognitive Development, Computation
Inskeep, James E., Jr. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
How teachers can diagnose difficulties with computation is discussed, with emphasis on how to develop diagnostic tests. How to use such tests to plan remediation is considered in terms of several types of errors. (MN)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Computation, Diagnostic Tests
Hamrick, Katherine B.; McKillip, William D. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
The changing role of computational skills is discussed. A level of computational skill desirable in light of predictable future needs is proposed, and four reasons for advocating that level are discussed. (MN)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Computation, Curriculum Development
Rathmell, Edward C. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
A framework for organizing instruction on the basic facts is presented. Guidelines are given for blending work with concrete materials, thinking strategies, and drill into a meaningful program. (MN)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Cognitive Processes, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Ashlock, Robert B.; Washbon, Carolynn A. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
The use of games to provide practice on specified objectives is discussed. Four games are described in relation to several guidelines. (MN)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning
Moyer, John C.; Moyer, Margaret Bannochie – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Assumptions frequently made about learning disabled children are discussed, with many teaching suggestions provided. (MN)
Descriptors: Addition, Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Bright, George W. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Assessment data on student achievement are analyzed to trace performance on some computational skills, with areas of needed improvement identified. (MN)
Descriptors: Achievement, Algorithms, Basic Skills, Computation
Backman, Carl A. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
A variety of student work procedures and answer patterns for whole-number computation is examined. Specific suggestions for helping students who make each type of error are offered. (MN)
Descriptors: Classification, Computation, Diagnostic Teaching, Elementary Education
Beardslee, Edward C. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Ways to use a calculator as an integral part of mathematics instruction in existing curricula are provided. Activities are proposed that will help children think about mathematics rather than merely push buttons. (MN)
Descriptors: Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Games
Thomas, Diane J. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
Capturing junior high school students' interest in computation is the aim. Three activities are described in which computation acts as a needed tool within a problem-solving context. (MN)
Descriptors: Computation, Instruction, Instructional Materials, Junior High Schools
Trafton, Paul R. – NCTM Yearbook, 1978
The need to include proficiency with estimation and mental arithmetic as goals for the study of computation is presented. Approaches and guidelines are described for developing these skills.
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Computation, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education
