In elementary arithmetic, a standard algorithm or method is a specific method of computation which is conventionally taught for solving particular mathematical problems. These methods vary somewhat by nation and time, but generally include exchanging, regrouping, long division, and long multiplication using a standard notation, and standard formulas for average, area, and volume. Similar methods also exist for procedures such as square root and even more sophisticated functions, but have fallen out of the general mathematics curriculum in favor of calculators (or tables and slide rules before them). As to standard algorithms in elementary mathematics, Fischer et al. (2019 ) state that advanced students use standard algorithms more effectively than peers who use these algorithms unreasoningly (Fischer et al. 2019). That said, standard algorithms, such as addition, subtraction, as well as those mentioned above, represent central components of elementary math.
