The Effect of Emphasizing Mathematical Structure in the Acquisition of Whole Number Computation Skills (Addition and Subtraction) by Seven- and Eight-Year Olds: A Clinical Investigation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Uprichard, A. Edward; Collura, Carolyn – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
The goal was to help 7- and 8-year olds develop computational skills in addition and subtraction. Experimental groups received instruction emphasizing mathematical structure while control groups worked on drill activities. Results showed that emphasizing structure facilitated the development of number concepts, place value, and computational…

Arithmetic Computation Scores: or Can Children in Modern Mathematics Programs Really Compute?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Garigliano, Leonard J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Responding to publicity about declining computation scores on standardized tests, the author conducted a study comparing October with May testing and timed with untimed tests. He concluded that students today are able to compute but do so more slowly than earlier students and earn higher scores on applications and concepts. (SD)
