Reys, Robert E.; And Others

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v26 n4 p304-26 Jul 1995

Assessed attitude, computational preferences, and mental computational performance of 176, 187, 186, and 206 Japanese students in grades 2, 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Found wide ranges of performance on mental computation, that visual modes of presentation increased performance levels, and a narrow range of strategies. Contains assessments.
