Peer reviewedCarpenter, Thomas P.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Results of National Assessment problems on area are used to highlight the difficulties elementary students have with area and volume concepts. Recommendations for instruction include the provision for substantial practice with coverings before the introduction of computational short-cuts. (SD) Aspect of National Assessment (NAEP) dealt with in…

Peer reviewedShumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
The roles of both positive and negative instances in concept formation are discussed. Based on research results, the article stresses ideas that the classroom teacher could try in order to aid concept learning. Several specific examples, based on the concept of commutivity, are given. (LS)

Peer reviewedCarpenter, Thomas P.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
Various algorithms used in addition, subtraction, and division problems were identified. The percentages of people in the National Assessment survey populations using each method are reported, as are the percentages of those using the most popular methods who answered correctly. Implications for instruction are discussed. (SD) Aspect of National…
