Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education, Mathematics Education
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)
