The mysterious Mr. “X” of algebra is creeping into the elementary school curriculums of the United States. In arithmetic classes throughout the country children are learning enthusiastically the language and symbols of algebra. However, the content of the algebra which should be included in the elementary school arithmetic program has not been examined rigorously. A decision is needed on precisely what algebraic concepts will be taught at the elementary level. Since students in the elementary school find it fascinating to work with both numerals and letters as symbols for numbers, algebraic skills which beginning students in algebra in secondary schools find quite routine can be introduced properly to elementary school students who find them challenging. This article will explore briefly the possibilitie for developing an algebraic arithmetic for elementary school. Those algebraic concepts which should be included in an elementary arithmetic program will be stated precisely.

Parents Involvement

Mexican-American parents of Texas elementary school students were surveyed to compare the types of school involvement in which immigrant and U.S.-born parents engage. Those completing the questionnaire included 246 mothers and 39 fathers born in Mexico as well as 95 mothers and 13 fathers born in the United States. More immigrant parents than U.S.-born parents indicated they helped their children with school work, attended school board meetings, volunteered at school, participated in parent-teacher conferences, went to school functions, served as room mother, engaged in school fundraising, and were present during parent advisory committee meetings.

Placement Decisions

Twenty-seven elementary school students from 12 countries sat for the Nonverbal Battery of the Lorge Thorndike Intelligence Test during their first semester at a private American overseas school. Their final grades in English, mathematics, science, and social science, as well as their GPAs were correlated with the Nonverbal IQ. Moderate correlations were observed in each instance. Although the sample was small, these results were considered useful because of the present dearth of empirical data that may be used in forming placement decisions involving international students. It was also indicated that the teacher's daily exposure to the overseas milieu may have led to the use of more effective instructional strategies. A call for additional research in the United States and the Middle East was made.

Important Time

Gadgets have now become the daily necessities of modern society, ranging from laptops, tablets to smartphones. The survey (theAsian Parent Insight with Samsung Kidstime: 2014) states that 98% of children in Southeast Asia have used a smartphone / tablet. The high intensity of the use of gadgets by children to play games and access video content is certainly a problem in itself. If in the past children often spend their free time playing with friends, studying and reading books, now children prefer to spend their time playing gadgets. Though the end of childhood (elementary school children) is an important time to interact with friends. Activities to interact with friends include playing in groups. Play is important for the physical, psychological, and social development of children. By playing in groups, children interact with friends so they can provide valuable lessons for children to tolerate with fellow friends. (Rita Eka Izzaty, et al., 2008: 112). This research is to find out: 1) the length of time using a gadget by elementary school students, 2) the content that is accessed when using a gadget. This research uses qualitative research. The conclusion is that the flap book lift can be used as a learning medium to reduce the behavior of gadget addiction in elementary level students.

This research was conducted in order to create EVE, an electronic game that can be used to teach and learn vocabularies. The objectives of this research is to see whether EVE can be used to teach vocabulary to elementary school students as a supplementary teaching media. This research takes the form of developmental research. This developmental research was performed in order to create new teaching materials. The research method consists of four phases: analyzing, designing, developing, and implementing also known as ADDI method. Several vocabulary materials from different books and sources were combined with the Hot Potatoes application for teaching vocabularies to complete the designed product. The EVE was created for approximately 50 minutes in teaching and learning period. The completed research was implemented with 11 elementary students from different schools. To sum it up, the researcher found that EVE is usable for teaching vocabulary to elementary level students especially in gaining students’ interest and motivate students to learn vocabulary in more pleasing way.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an aerobic exercise intervention programme on elementary school students’ math learning and daily physical activity. Methods: This mixed-methods study included 7 educators and 83 students (n=90). The students were all children who were enrolled in Grades 3, 4, and 5 in a semi-rural elementary school in the United States of America. Data were collected through focus-group interviews, surveys, quantitative analysis of step counts, and from quasi-experimental research design. Results: Students in the experimental group were found to have: (1) increased scores on math standard score, (2) greater confidence in their academic ability, and (3) had more accumulated steps compared to students in the control group. Students in the experimental group also reported that they were more “ready to learn” after completing the physical activity intervention. This finding was also confirmed by their teachers. Conclusion: This study demonstrates how an increase in physical activity during the morning time has positive benefits for students throughout the school day.

Two Stages

Politeness in language is a soft skill that needs to be instilled in children, especially elementary schools, because the times and technological advancements require soft skills of the younger generation to develop. As a result, many children have ethics that are far from what parents and their environment want. For this problem, this reason is used as a form of coping or a way of giving attention to elementary students so that politeness in language can be maintained well. Partners in this service are PKK mothers who have children at the elementary level who live in the Citra Bungoidal housing complex. With this language courtesy training it is expected that elementary students especially those living in Citra Bungo Pasang housing will have the modesty of language in their daily lives. The language politeness of elementary school students is expected to be not only polite to parents, but also to friends, and others who are the opponents. Based on the partner's problem, the proposed solution will be implemented in two stages, namely, the first stage by providing material on language courtesy, and strategies for speaking to elementary students who live in the Citra Bungo Village housing Sungai Tarung Village, Koto Tangah District. The material is presented using power points and infocus. After the language courtesy material was given to elementary school students living in Citra Bungo Village, Sungai Tarung Subdistrict, Koto Tangah Subdistrict, students were told to interact with their friends and parents. This is done to see whether the student understands and can apply it in communication. The results of the language courtesy training given to elementary school students residing in Citra Bungo Pasang housing were observed two weeks after the material was purchased. The results were very satisfying, because elementary school students residing in the Citra Bungo Pasang housing complex which had often said rudely had changed. Because these elementary students reminded each other not to say rude.
