The number line, a traditional tool in arithmetic classes, continues to find greater acceptance in some of the new mathematics programs. The logic behind some of the applications of “cricket- Jumps,” vectors, or hops1 to and fro on the line seems to give an elementary school child a model suited to his learning level. Thus the jumps of the earlier grades are replaced by moves in the intermediate grades, which are replaced by vector representations in the upper grades. Figure 1 shows the addition of 3 to 2, written 2+3.

This article is intended as a follow-up to my previous one in The Arithmetic Teacher, “From Number Lines to 2–D Space Concepts” (February 1966). That article mentioned the possible use of number-line rules in the elementary classroom. By substituting various values in the frames of selected number-line rules, a variety of thought-provoking exercises can be developed, giving the elementary school child much needed practice in quantitative manipulation. By introducing the second number line and jumping from one number line to the second, one method of showing the relationship between quantity and space was introduced.

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.

Chapter 4 focuses on elementary school children who refuse school primarily due to attention-seeking behavior. Many of these children are not necessarily anxious about school, though separation anxiety could be present, but instead desire to remain home from school to be with a parent or primary caregiver. This chapter includes detailed recommendations for psychoeducation, contingency management, and reintroduction to school, with a focus on parents. Recommendations are made for encouraging parents to supervise attendance more closely, refrain from keeping a child home from school, maintain a regular morning routine for school preparation behaviors, and implement consequences for attendance and nonattendance as appropriate. Core intervention components and procedures to expand the effectiveness of these core components are covered.
