The Vocabulary of Arithmetic
註釋Word problems are common in elementary arithmetic. The purpose of the investigation reported in this monograph was to study the nature and development of concepts in technical and semi-technical terms in the arithmetic of the first six grades. The study looks at vocabulary difficulties in grades four through six, the development of concepts in words in grades one through four, and the explanations of new technical terms in textbooks. Technical terms were compared with published vocabularies used in reading and spelling. Teachers of arithmetic cannot ignore the fact that their subject makes constant use of a technical vocabulary which goes beyond the lists of words commonly used in reading and spelling, and that the building-up of adequate concepts of the terms used is an important obligation.
