Despite the research regarding the importance of peer review and feedback in pre-service special education teachers, there exists a gap in teaching complex mathematical concepts such as fractional operations. This study sought to address this gap by investigating how pre-service teachers can effectively appraise and revise peer-generated teaching…

The present study, conducted from the perspective of cultural history (Certeau, 1982; Chartier, 1990; Chervel, 1990; Julia 2001)), aims to investigate guidelines for the use of teaching materials to teach fractions in the primary school, present in pedagogical manuals of the period from 1930 to 1970. The research is based in references such as…

This study investigates the use of manipulatives by elementary students working on a fraction task. Extending previous work on the role played by the manipulatives in students' activity, we aim at describing how the choices made for the task design disrupt students' activity, creating opportunities to learn. The theoretical underpinnings allow…

In this article the authors overview how the recently revised (version 9) Australian Curriculum (Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2022) and student difficulties with fractions relate to five developmental Fraction Schemes developed from multiple research projects in the literature. The article shares research findings from…

The aim of this research is to examine digital learning materials designed by pre-service mathematics teachers with GeoGebra software through rubrics. This research was conducted using the integrative mixed method design, which allows the use of qualitative and quantitative methods together or sequentially. The study group of the research consists…

This study focused on the development of the learners on how Video-Based Experiential Approach will help learners to keep the pace of learnings in this pandemic. This study provided various evidence on how innovation can be a great step in developing the learners in learning about fraction. The purpose of this action research is to determine the…

This study investigates the effect of materials developed based on conceptual change approach on 9th grade students'achievement in the subject of fractions. With this aim, a worksheet, conceptual change text and a two-stage performance test on the subject of fractions were developed. Quasi-experimental research model was used in the study.…

Described is a bingo-like game for classroom drill with fractions and their equivalents. (RS)

A method of showing the meaning of decimal fraction without using fraction words or notation. One technique described in detail uses large squares, strips, and small squares; using the metric system and decimal coinage is also suggested. (DT)

This is the teacher's manual to accompany part 1 of the workbook for grade 6 pupils in the Comprehensive Instructional Management System, a teacher-designed unified mathematics curriculum for kindergarten through grade 7. It is composed of a curriculum, a testing component, and a computer-managed reporting system. The curriculum is organized into…

This document is the final report of the Regional Training Workshop for the Development of Materials for Mathematics Education in Asia and the Pacific, using a problem-solving approach. The workshop was committed to identifying materials which are readily available at low cost, in sufficient quantities to be used by children in classrooms in any…

Describes a project that helps children to realize the potential use of fractions and therefore have an incentive to learn them. (RB)

Mathematics and art are often considered opposites in the traditional curriculum. In this project with fourth graders, mathematics and art provided a springboard for using fractions, in particular, the multiplication of fractions, using Chinese kites. The project began with a discussion of, "What does an artist really do in a mathematics…

This instructor's guide consists of materials for use in helping students enrolled in postsecondary vocational or technical education programs to master pretechnical mathematics skills. Addressed in the 17 units of the guide are arranged under the following headings: Whole Numbers (whole number notation; addition, subtraction, multiplication, and…
