The goal of books in this series is to present work that is on the growing tip of research in cognitive development. The theme of this volume is children's logical and mathematical cognition, a field in which Piaget's influence has been extensive. In the first of the six chapters, Acredolo presents a new theory of the cognitive bases for…

The effects of two training sequences on the development of young children's logical operations and number concepts, including rational counting strategies, were investigated. Forty-five preschool children, aged 3.11 to 4.10, were randomly assigned to two treatment groups and one control group. Subjects in the treatment groups received training…

One of the main purposes of a mathematics club is to provide the opportunity for students to study exciting topics in mathematics not ordinarily discussed in the classroom. Each of the 10 chapters in this booklet is a collection of related subtopics. Each idea is presented and discussed; bibliographies then suggest in-depth reading. The chapters…

In a two-year study, frequencies and descriptions of systematic errors in four algorithms in arithmetic were studied in regular and special education classrooms. (Author/SD)

Implications for teaching the metric system to educable retarded students are discussed. (CL)

The effect of the use of hand-held calculators on the arithmetic curriculum is explored. (SD)

In the situation described, the withholding of immediate reinforcement led a student to verify his method, and thus led to greater confidence and motivation. (SD)

A learning activity relating modular arithmetic to patterns of figures determined by points equally spaced around a circle is described. (SD)

Students who were unsuccessful in performing long division were taught to use a successive subtractions algorithm. (SD)

Three worksheets provide exercises involving triangular arrays of numbers. (SD)

Several problems involving "pi" and "e" can be approached by diagramming, flow charting, and computer programing. (SD)

Homemade geostrips, "angle-fixers" (cardboard circular sectors) and brass fasteners can be used by students to explore properties of angles, triangles and other polygons. Several games and other activities are suggested. (SD)

Students, playing the game described, develop strategies for guessing the four-digit number chosen by the opponent. The rules of the game are easily understood by low achievers, yet strategy development is challenging to advanced students. The game can be extended to numbers having more digits. (SD)
