Korean Children's Single-Digit Addition and Subtraction: Numbers Structured by Ten.
Fuson, Karen C.; Kwon, Youngshim
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v23 n2 p148-65 Mar 1992
Thirty-six Korean first graders were interviewed to study their ability solving addition problems with sums of 10, single-digit sums between 10 and 18, and subtraction problems with minuends between 10 and 18. Finger methods to show sums over 10 and the regular named-10 Korean number words supported their learning of 3 efficient recomposition methods structured around 10. (MDH)
