Peer reviewedReys, Robert E., Ed.; Reys, Barbara J., Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Use of an ancient method of mental calculation with aliquot parts is illustrated. Other tips for helping children reason are also included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction, Mental Computation
Peer reviewedHope, Jack A. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1985
The processes and procedures used by expert mental calculators are identified from a literature review. Experts are characterized by knowledge of a variety of methods, ability to recall numerical equivalents, and ability to remember the numbers involved in various stages of calculations. (MNS)
Descriptors: Adults, Cognitive Processes, Computation, Educational Research
Peer reviewedReys, Robert E., Ed.; Reys, Barbara J., Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Estimation of measurements is discussed, with a definition, rationale, strategies, teaching suggestions, and several references. (MNS)

Peer reviewedNelson, Glenn; Leutzinger, Larry P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
This article focuses on the aspect of mental arithmetic that uses thinking strategies that are effective with large numbers as well as basic facts. Two activities are suggested for lack of the four operations. (MK)
Descriptors: Activities, Addition, Division, Elementary Education
Peer reviewedReys, Barbara J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
What mental computation and estimation are, what is known from research about each process, and what can help students develop these skills are discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Estimation (Mathematics), Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedReys, Robert E., Ed.; Reys, Barbara J., Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Using factoring as an aid to mental multiplication is illustrated. Other suggestions for teaching mental computation are also included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedReys, Robert E., Ed.; Reys, Barbara J., Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Four ways of knowing about numbers are listed, with direct estimation emphasized. Using perceptual anchors is described, with several teaching tips on their use in estimation. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Estimation (Mathematics), Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedSchoen, Harold L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Front-end estimation is discussed, with several examples, teaching tips, testing tips, and some references on research and additional activities. (MNS)

Peer reviewedDietz, Charles – Perspectives in Education and Deafness, 1993
Strategies for rapid mental computation are explained, including multiplying by 11 (or 21, 31, etc.); adding columns of numbers; and multiplying 2-digit numbers. Rapid mental computation is suggested as a motivator for investigating the underlying mathematical principles. (DB)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Strategies
Peer reviewedFrench, Doug – Mathematics in School, 1987
Choosing mental, written, or calculator procedures is important for children to learn. Children should be encouraged to be flexible and consider alternatives when doing mental calculation. Developing mental skills, symbols and rules, and numbers in context are each considered. (MNS)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedCoburn, Terrence C. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Ideas are given on how to teach children to make estimates in measurement. (MNS)
