Mental calculations and estimations are basic, everyday skills that are essential for real-life arithmetic operations and number sense. This book presents a much needed overview and analysis of mental computation and estimation, drawing on contemporary research and empirical studies that were conducted on students, teachers and adults to cover all aspects of this complex field. Mental Computation and Estimation analyses the implications that are involved in the research, teaching and learning of mathematics and delivers effective practices that will enhance everyday learning for students. Focusing on a range of international research and studies from the School of Nature and Life Mathematics in Greece, it answers a number of important questions including: What mental calculations and estimations are, why they are important and what other mathematical concepts and cognitive behaviors are they related to? What strategies are used on mental additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions and how are multiplication tables learned? What are the new trends in the teaching of mental calculation and estimation? An invaluable resource for all those involved in the practice and research of mathematics education, Mental Computation and Estimation will also be a useful tool for researchers, policy makers and developers of educational programs.

The study sought to investigate how Grade 3 students from two separate schools learned mathematics. The study explores the role of mental computation when students are engaged in sharing their invented strategies. I observed students sharing ideas and teachers implementing mental computation lessons over fifteen sessions. Interviews with students and teachers, copies of students' journal on mental math strategies were used to collect additional data. The findings were organized around descriptive moments; as I described how students were absorbed in mathematical conversation when they were invited to think mathematically and also encouraged to use their own strategies. I drew on the epistemology of constructivism in problem solving, to understand how students develop conceptual understanding of mathematics when given the opportunity to explain their own strategies. Students' cooperation in sharing their inventions was observed in class and group discussions, as well as in pairs with classmates. It was at these levels where the students: (a) eagerly invented numerous strategies for solving addition, subtraction and multiplication problems; (b) made sound arguments in support of their ideas when discussing problem solving strategies; (c) were cooperative in presenting their strategies; (d) learned from each other by listening to one another's explanations; (e) learned from correcting their errors; and (f) used their cognitive backgrounds as useful heuristics in their discussions. The students expressed their satisfaction and enjoyment during their collaborative learning and social interactions. The teachers used questioning strategies, among other teaching principles, to help students to complete their presentations. These included leading questions, probing and follow-ups, checklisting and student-specific questioning strategies. The study informs teachers about how mental mathematics lessons were implemented in the two Grade 3 classrooms to help the students understand mathematics. Teachers should be given courses, workshops and supportive programs on implementing mental computation lessons. This will give teachers the necessary experiences to increase their understanding of how students improve their understanding of mathematics when they are encouraged to share their inventions in class. The study provides a useful template for future studies in all subject areas of mathematics related to mental computation and estimation at all grade levels.

Text is appropriate for courses in Mathematics for the Elementary School. Built on the foundation of the new 2000 NCTM Principles and Standards, this major new entry for K-8 math methods has impacted the market because of its point-of-use links to the standards and its emphasis on the importance of a child-centered approach creating a learning environment that informs teachers how to support children as they build understandings of math concepts. Designed to be neither skimpy nor exhaustive, this text presents theory in an accessible manner and models a wealth of practical activities for teaching. Five videos from the Annenberg/CPB TEACHING MATH video series bring real classrooms to life for teachers and are integrated into the text as four/color, resourceful inserts.

Elementary School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, Second Edition, provides detailed, comprehensive coverage of the teaching of mathematics in grades K-8. Firmly grounded in the NCTM Standards, the text develops a constructivist/developmental approach to learning mathematics that focuses on the nature of mathematical concepts and the manner in which children construct mathematical ideas. It aims to help teachers reconceptualize mathematics as a problem-solving endeavor not as a mastery of rules and procedures. An accessible synthesis of viewpoints and current research, this highly praised text includes topics ranging from the development of basic fact mastery to the important development of "number sense"--All the while encouraging teachers to consider the construction of mathematics from the child's perspective. In-depth treatment of curriculum content teaching, combined with hundreds of teaching activities aimed at conceptual development, makes Elementary School Mathematics a practical teacher's resource as well as a college text. Elementary School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, Second Edition, features: greater emphasis on the NCTM Curriculum Standards and the Professional Teaching Standards as the leading forces in mathematics education; a new chapter on mathematics as a "science of pattern and order"; a completely rewritten chapter on alternative assessment; expanded and improved problem-solving examples; enhanced coverage of grades 7 and 8; even more black-line masters with directions for making other useful materials; and an Instructor's Manual with instructional suggestions, activities for group homework, practicum ideas, and essay questions.
