Mental Computation of Students in a Reform-Based Mathematics Curriculum.

Carroll, William M.

School Science and Mathematics, v96 n6 p305-11 Oct 1996

Compares the results of a whole-class test on mental computation problems given to fifth graders who had been in a reform-based mathematics curriculum with those of students in a traditional mathematics curriculum. Reports that the students in the reform-based program performed much higher than the comparison group on all but one problem. (16 references) (Author/JRH)
