This study was designed to determine if the use of manipulative aids facilitated learning of mathematical concepts and skills by preservice elementary teachers. Results suggest that demonstration of materials is as effective as the "hands-on" approach. (MK)

This article reports a field evaluation of experimental first-year algebra materials, "Algebra Through Applications." Effectiveness of the materials was evaluated in terms of achievement, attitude, transfer to consumer, problem solving, readability, and implementation. Overall, it was found the experimental materials could be used…

The effect on student attainment of the number of moves in a concept teaching venture is examined. Results suggest the number of moves in short ventures had little effect on attainment of mathematical concepts. However, performance increased as the number of moves in longer ventures increased.
