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

Uprichard, A. Edward; Collura, Carolyn

School Science and Mathematics, 77, 2, 97-104, Feb 77

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 skills. (DT)
