Effective mathematics requires more than the use of symbols or numerals. All students, and even many adults, need concrete models to understand mathematical concepts. Elementary and middle school children can understand and master basic concepts of mathematics, including algebra, when concrete materials are used to model these concepts. This article presents a rationale for these statements and describes a model for teaching early algebraic concepts using manipulative materials.

The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of the System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT) for measuring physical activity of elementary and middle school children. Students (N = 173,92 boys and 81 girls) from Grades 1–8 completed a standardized protocol that included lying, sitting, standing, walking, running, curl-ups, and push-ups. Heart rates were used as a criterion for concurrent validity. The results confirm the validity of the physical activity codes of SOFIT for elementary and middle school children. Activity Categories 2–5 indicate different levels of energy expenditure, whereas Categories 1 (lying) and 2 (sitting) refer to the same energy expenditure level. The common distinction between SOFIT Levels 4 and 5 as MVPA (moderate to vigorous physical activity) and SOFIT Levels 1 to 3 as non-MVPA is valid. Curl-ups and push-ups should be coded as MVPA.

Fraction concepts continue to be one of the most challenging topics for elementary and middle school children (see, e.g., Kouba, Zawojewski, and Strutchens [1997]). One important factor in teaching and learning fractions is the use of representations. This article addresses four issues surrounding this topic: (1) tools for representing fractions, (2) methods of representing fractions, (3) fraction notations, and (4) fraction language.
