Fair Sharing

Two groups of third graders at Campbell Elementary School in Arlington, Virginia, investigated how to represent the fair sharing of chocolate bars when there are fewer chocolate bars than people who want to share them. This investigation occurred before any formal teaching of fractions, and it revealed student understanding of partitioning a whole into equal pieces, fractional language and notation, using fractions to represent division, and equivalent fractions.

Student Activity

Each month, elementary teachers receive a problem, along with suggested instructional notes and often a student activity sheet. Teachers are to use the problem in their own classrooms and report solutions, strategies, reflections, and misconceptions to the journal audience. November is election month in the United States. Every four years, opportunities arise for classroom discussions related to selecting the next U.S. president. In elementary school classrooms, mock elections can provide data to use for many mathematical explorations and graphical representations.

Informal Setting

Fractions are a major area of concept and skill study in elementary school mathematics. The game in this article helps students practice many of these concepts and skills in a motivational and informal setting. The major concepts covered by this game include identifying fractions, equivalent fractions, and improper fractions; performing operations with fractions; and reading and writing numerals for fractions. This game also helps develop number sense and uses models to explore operation sense with fractions. The emphasis is on developing and understanding fraction concepts and operations.

Hearing Problems

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.

Resource Program

In 1972 a program was developed in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland, to provide daily resource remediation to elementary school-age children with language handicaps. In accord with the Maryland’s guidelines for language and speech disabilities, the general goal of the program was to provide remediation that enabled children with language problems to increase their abilities in the comprehension or production of oral language. Although self-contained language classrooms and itinerant speech-language pathology programs existed, the resource program was designed to fill a gap in the continuum of services provided by the speech and language department.

Classroom teachers were asked to list the traits they felt were characteristic of the elementary school child who wears a hearing aid. These listings were evaluated according to the desirability of the traits and were studied regarding frequency of occurrence, desirability, and educational, emotional, and social implications. The results of the groupings are discussed in terms of pre-service and in-service training.
