Abstract
Literature at national and international levels argues the importance of including mental computation in a mathematics curriculum that promotes number sense. Characteristics of good mental computers have been documented. However, there is conflicting evidence about what constitutes high performance in mental computation – high accuracy as a result of efficient mental strategies and number sense or high accuracy without accompanying number sense. The purpose of this paper is to present findings of a study that investigated accurate mental computers and the factors that supported accuracy.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
