Direct linkAlexander, Cathleen M.; Ambrose, Rebecca C. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2010
When students are asked to write original story problems about fractional amounts, it can illustrate their misunderstandings about fractions. Think about the situations students would describe to model 1/2 + 2/3. Three elements, in particular, challenge students: (1) Which of three models (region, or area; measure; or set) is best suited for a…

Maxwell, Vicki L.; Lassak, Marshall B. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2008
Standard classroom tests tend to showcase what students know at that point in time and do not usually reflect real-life mathematics. They are not always accurate indicators of what students understand and how they understand it. Portfolios are tools that allow students a better opportunity to exhibit mathematical growth in understanding and…
