Anghileri, Julia; Beishuizen, Meindert; Van Putten, Kees
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v49 n2 p149-70 2002
Explores written calculation methods for division used by pupils in England (n=276) and the Netherlands (n=259). Analyses informal strategies and identifies progression towards more structured procedures that result from different teaching approaches. Comparison of methods used shows greater success in the Dutch approach which is based on progression from informal strategies to more structured and efficient procedures. (Author/MM)
