Junior High School Students' Understanding of Fractions.

Wearne-Hiebert, Diana C.; Hiebert, James

School Science and Mathematics, v83 n2 p96-106 Feb 1983

This study looked at student difficulties with fractions by focusing on understanding of part/whole relationships. The sample consisted of two sixth-grade and two eighth-grade classes. A lack of substantial improvement from sixth to eighth grade on many fraction tasks was noted and viewed as cause for concern. (MP)
