Peer reviewedCarlisle, Earnest – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
A game based on "skittles" can provide practice on basic facts. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Games
Peer reviewedCunningham, Helen – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
Several bicentennial games and puzzles, all using the number 1776, are described. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Games
Peer reviewedSchwartzman, Steven – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A subtraction algorithm for numbers having several digits is described. The algorithm requires that, for digits in the same place, the smaller is always subtracted from the larger. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedBrown, Stephen I. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A multiplication algorithm based on a perfect square is described. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Curriculum, Discovery Learning
Peer reviewedCrouse, Richard – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A game similar to the television game "Concentration" can be effectively used for drill on computation such as equivalence of fractions. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning
Peer reviewedBarr, David C. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
A procedure for providing necessary and sufficient practice on basic skills, while still providing other mathematical experiences that balance an interesting mathematics program, is discussed. (JT)

Peer reviewedLichtenberg, Donovan R. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
Many of the difficulties that students have with mathematical symbolism seem to stem from the use of a horizontal form for an equation and a vertical form for computation. The differences between these two forms are discussed. (JT)

Peer reviewedTrembley, Phil; Luke, Hope – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
A model remedial mathematics program is described in terms of its unique features, the theoretical rationale, personnel, project objectives, project procedures, instructional method, and evaluation. (DT)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction
Peer reviewedTemple, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Decimal Fractions, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions
Peer reviewedBartel, Elaine V. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
A game with dice that can be adapted for use at various levels of understanding is presented. (MS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Basic Skills, Computation, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedKuczkowski, Joseph E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
The use of a type of magic square as a tool for student drill in the basic operations is emphasized. Methods for constructing "Sneaky Squares" are outlined and the logic behind them explained. The approach is seen as convenient for a variety of basic drill work. (MP)

Peer reviewedBecker, Stanley – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
The described game provides children with practice in multiplying by three and in comparing the values of sets of coins. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Games
Peer reviewedSuydam, Marilyn N. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
It is argued that mathematics is more than computation and that a mathematics curriculum with a broad base to keep career options open is essential. (MP)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Career Choice, Curriculum, Curriculum Problems
Peer reviewedThompson, Charles S.; Dunlop, William P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Procedures enabling teachers to diagnose and analyze a child's ability to understand and memorize basic facts are described. (JT)
