The purpose of the study was to replicate findings of an earlier study of fourth grade boys manifesting mixed handedness with a sample. Among 32 mixed-handed boys in Grades 6 to 8, the right-handed writer, left-handed thrower group obtained low spelling scores (Normal Curve Equivalent Scores) on the California Achievement Test significantly more frequently than the left-handed writer, right-handed thrower group. These findings are consistent with data for Grade 4 boys in the earlier study. Findings strengthen the hypotheses that mixed handedness is not a unitary neuropsychological entity and that boys who write with the right hand and throw with the left hand might be at risk for certain academic deficits.

Percent, an important topic in the middle school and junior high school curriculum, is commonly found in the everyday lives of students. This topic presents a wonderful opportunity for students to reason and work proportionally with quantities. Teachers have tried different instructional approaches with varying degrees of success, but percent remains a difficult topic for students to understand. Various representations have been used in instruction, such as fractions, decimals, pie charts, and number lines. Although the use of visual models is a step in the right direction, these visual representations are often abandoned as students progress into the topic. Emphasis is then placed on conversions, equations, and computations. However, these representations may not stress the very nature of the concept. Instruction in this important topic should stress what percent really is instead of concentrating on surface features of the numeral and the problems in which it appears.
