Peer reviewedHiebert, James; Wearne, Diana – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1992
Investigates issues of conceptual understanding in teaching and learning mathematics provided conceptually based instruction on place value and two-digit addition and subtraction without regrouping in four first grade classrooms. Conventional textbook-based instruction was provided in two first grade classrooms. Experimental-group students scored…

Winter, Phil – TIES Magazine, 1990
A workshop is described in which students design various shapes from the basic rectangle. The polypopagon is used as an example of something that can be made out of simple, everyday materials yet be related to the greater, integrated enterprise of discovery and invention. Directions for making polypopagons are included. (KR)

Peer reviewedPehkonen, Erkki – Mathematics Educator, 1992
Discusses the rationale and use of problem fields which are sets of related and/or connected open-ended problem-solving tasks within mathematics instruction. Polygons with matchsticks and the number triangle are two examples of problem fields presented along with variations in conditions that promote other matchstick puzzles. (11 references) (JJK)

Peer reviewedLara-Alecio, Rafael; Parker, Richard; Aviles, Claudia; Mason, Samantha; Irby, Beverly J. – Bilingual Research Journal, 1998
As an alternative form of mathematics assessment for use with limited-English-proficient students, 14 mathematics tasks using manipulatives were administered to 45 Hispanic students in grades 1-3 and readministered 2-3 weeks later. Test reliability and validity, task difficulty, and the relationship among test subscales across grades were…

Direct linkBaig, Shahida; Halai, Anjum – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2006
This research focused on students' learning of mathematical rules with reasoning. A small group of students (age 11-12 yrs) was observed closely by the first author as she taught them fraction rules. The area of focus was fractions and activities were designed pertaining to the four rules of fractions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and…

Higgs, Peter L.; McNeal, Shannon – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2006
Children can learn a lot about social studies by "reconstructing a culture" in the classroom. To reconstruct a culture, students can make use of prior knowledge to build a hierarchy of concepts about culture as well as learn social science subject knowledge appropriate to their grade level. In addition, they can have the tactile…
