Abstract
Today we find common agreement that effective mathematics instruction in the elementary grades incorporates liberal use of concrete materials. Articles in the Arithmetic Teacher no longer exhort us to use concrete materials, nor does the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (NCTM 1991) include a standard on the use of concrete materials. The use of concrete materials seems to be assumed unquestioningly.
