Children's Natural Processes.
Madell, Rob
Arithmetic Teacher, v32 n7 p20-22 Mar 1985
The author argues that children not only can but should create their own computational algorithms and that the teacher's role is "merely" to help. How children in grades K-3 add and subtract is the focus of this article. Grouping, directionality, and exchange are highlighted. (MNS)
