Presented is a supplement to two previous collections of expanded abstracts of research with calculators. Eight reports are abstracted to add to the information on the effects of calculators on achievement and learning. The critical commentary prepared by each abstractor pinpoints particular strengths and weaknesses of each study. (MP)

Thirteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and critiqued in this publication. The topics of the research include counting, addition, subtraction, ratio, proportion, geometry, problem solving, and teaching strategies. Also included is an editorial comment by T. Kieren on mathematics education research. Research…

The document opens with an editorial comment discussing the role of mathematics in teaching and learning. Then, 13 reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with problem solving, and another three look at aspects of cognitive development. There are two each on mathematics instruction,…

Twelve research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, two with student characteristics, and one each with calculators, problem solving, secondary mathematics curriculum changes in Australia, sex differences, teaching methods, and tutoring strategies. The…

Presented are abstracts and analyses of eleven research reports related to mathematics education. Five deal with aspects of learning theory, three with classroom practices, and one each on student characteristics, cognitive development, and mathematics anxiety. Research related to mathematics education which was reported in RIE and CIJE between…

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Five studies deal with aspects of mathematics instruction, and there are four reports each on mathematics achievement and on two cognitive processes. The remaining items concern calculators, attitudes, and aptitude-treatment interaction. Research related to…

Abstracts of 12 mathematics education research reports and critical comments (by the abstractors) about the reports are provided in this issue of Investigations in Mathematics Education. The reports are: "More Precisely Defining and Measuring the Order-Irrelevance Principle" (Arthur Baroody); "Children's Relative Number Judgments:…

This issue of the journal contains abstracts and critiques of 11 research reports. They concern: a case study of one child's strategies for mental addition; children's understanding of fractions; computation routines prescribed by schools; models in verbal problem solving; predicting eighth-grade algebra achievement; the effectiveness of…

Abstracts and comments are presented for 11 studies. There are two each on aspects of problem solving, mathematics achievement, and estimation. The remainder cover topics related to cognitive development, cognitive processes, evaluation, numeration, and student errors. Research as reported in RIE and CIJE between July and September 1982 is also…

These four bulletins are each a compilation of references on Activities, Research, and Other Topics Related to Calculator Use. They were originally published at intervals to provide teachers and other interested individuals with sources of information about calculators pertinent to education. Bulletins cover the following subject areas: (1)…

This is the 12th annual listing of research on mathematics education. The research noted is alphabetically organized by author(s) within the following three categories: (1) research summaries; (2) journal-published reports; and (3) dissertation abstracts. Grade or age level is indicated for each reference. Included in the listing are studies in…

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed in this publication. Five of the reports deal with sex differences in mathematics learning and instruction, and three reports deal with assessment or prediction of mathematics achievement. Remaining reports involve the topics of calculators, logical implication,…

This issue contains abstracts and critical comments for 11 published reports of research in mathematics education. The reports are concerned with: (1) the development of counting strategies; (2) a structural model for mathematics achievement for men and women; (3) teaching children to subtract by counting up; (4) teaching children to add using…

This issue contains abstracts and critical comments for 10 papers. The reports are concerned with: (1) children's inferencing behavior; (2) instruction related to problem-solving and basic skills for seventh grade students; (3) remediation of children's subtraction errors; (4) investigation of young children's academic arithmetic contexts; (5)…
