Teacher planning procedures employing percentage-based measurement summaries and subsequent implementation of the results of planning with and without error analysis resulted in moderate increases in correct mathematics computation of learning disabled 10-13 year olds. No significant differences were found for presence or absence of error…

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)

Assessment of effects of school principal involvement on acquisition of multiplication facts by 309 intermediate grade students found that taking the timed test three times per week resulted in consistent sustained gains and that a math game with the principal contingent on improved class performance was the most effective principal-initiated…

This study of one part of the cognitive system of an illiterate Indian (his method of enumeration, computation, and evaluation) demonstrates the sophisticated conceptualization of which he is capable, independent of a writing system. (Author/CMG)

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 paper documents a study concerned with examining the affective response to mathematics among 45 primary school students. The study sought to examine how the children's emerging beliefs, attitudes and feelings about mathematics impacted on their learning of the subject. A particular finding was that these beliefs, attitudes and feelings were…

This textbook's goal is to train and develop the mind by means of the science of numbers. This work is designed both for primary and advanced classes. The first part is adapted to beginners, while the latter part is peculiarly fitted to give to the more advanced student that thorough mental drilling in the analysis of numbers, which furnishes the…

This textbook presents an arithmetic course that seeks to adapt the subject matter to the experiences, interests, and immediate needs of children, and to provide means for a mastery of the formal phases of arithmetic through more scientifically organized drills. This series consists of three books: Primary (ED622333), Intermediate, and Advanced…

This textbook is part of a series that aims to develop all the mathematical power needed by the average person in the accurate control of his affairs. The purpose has been to teach first the most important topics of arithmetic and last those least frequently used. This book presents topics, problems, and processes that are representative of the…

This textbook aims to develop all the mathematical power needed by the average person in the accurate control of his affairs. The purpose has been to teach first the most important topics of arithmetic and last those least frequently used. In consequence, the teacher may feel that the child who is leaving school at the end of any particular grade…

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…
