Abstract

This paper describes a mental computation lesson conducted in a Year 3 classroom. The effectiveness of the lesson is gauged using the four key teaching characteristics of effective mathematics lessons devised by Brown, Askew, Rhodes, Denvir, Ranson, and William (2001). Student outcomes are described using pre and post instruction interview data.
