What can classroom teachers do to help children who have difficulty with computational skills? Some people may argue that teachers need not worry about computational skills because of the increasing availability of miniaturized calculators. Such an argument assumes that an individual will (1) know what operation should be used; (2) have the financial resources to buy hand calculators; (3) have a hand calculator at his fingertips every time he needs to add, subtract, multiply, or divide; and (4) be able to determine the reasonableness of an answer once it has been derived. These assumptions are difficult to satisfy. The development of basic computational skills clearly should not be neglected; it remains one of the objectives of elementary school mathematics programs.

This month we should like to raise a question concerning the dissemination of research information: How can information concerned with elementary school mathematics instruction be most effectively developed so that classroom teachers and others with limited time and statistical background can make use of research findings on specific topics?

The purpose of this month's “Focus on Research” is to make two suggestions that are designed to increase participation in this column. They are also designed to increase dialogue between classroom teachers and researchers concerned with elementary school mathematics.

Over the years since its advent in 1954 The Arithmetic Teacher has developed into the largest publisher of research articles concerned with elementary school mathematics. In fact, out of 799 research studies identified by Suydam1 (published in fifty journals between 1900 and 1965), 158 appeared in The Arithmetic Teacher. This number represents more research reports in elementary school mathematics than were published by any other journal. This publication record is very appropriate since The Arithmetic Teacher reaches a wide audience of persons interested in mathematics on the elementary school level. It is read by classroom teachers, supervisors, principals, mathematics educators, and educational researchers interested in elementary school mathematics.2 With this audience, which varies greatly in research background, it is essential that reports be accurate, informative, concise, and readable. It is our contention that a research article can be so clearly written that it is informative to both the technical and nontechnical reader.

Since 1973 one of the most popular activities of the Hubbard High School (Chicago) chapter of Mu Alpha Theta bas been its annual Elementary School Mathematics Contest. The competition, which involves eighth-grade students from neighboring public and parochial elementary schools, is patterned after a once-popular Chicago area television quiz show called “It's Academic.” In 1980 sixteen schools and forty-eight students, selected by their classroom teachers, participated in this contest.

Important Field

Analysis of mathematics subject matter in elementary school is a very important field of study taught at every level of education. The 2013 curriculum separates the field of mathematics studies from themes so that this field of study is a subject that stands alone. Through mathematics subject matter taught in elementary school can train students to think critically, rationally, logically, innovatively so that they have competitiveness. As for the problems discussed from the subject matter in elementary school mathematics which is seen from the suitability of the teacher's book and the student's book, in this case it discusses: 1) the scope of mathematics material grade 3rd elementary school, 2) the characteristics of mathematics subject matter in elementary school, 3) the relevance in elementary school mathematics subject matter to the scientific structure, namely student character, HOTS, 4C skills, literacy numeracy, digital literacy, financial literacy and character education, 4) learning innovation based on integration-interconnection in accordance with the science of development and technology and the needs of the community in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.
