A) Benezet's story "The Teaching of Arithmetic I, II, III: The Story of an Experiment," Journal of the National Education Association ---yes there are 3 different articles.

B) Provide a course summary.

You may use your writeups from the readings and homeworks. Ideally you should be able to create a 1-2 page summary of what we covered in this course. You could make a concept-map, use embedded frames of context, order of magnitude estimations, an outline, p-prims / resources, knowledge structures, whatever makes sense to you.

Note that there are at least three elements to this course: Tuesday readings, Thursday hw's and your fieldwork.
