Peer reviewedBoas, R. P., Jr. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1972
The problem of getting a correct result when a fraction is reduced by cancelling a digit which appears in both the numerator and the denominator is extended from the base ten situation to any number base. (DT)

Peer reviewedHolmes, P. – Mathematics in School, 1974
The major portion of the article establishes the basis for the stated rule - to divide by a fraction, turn it upside down and multiply. With this background, three justifications for the rule are given. Several possible errors in students' use of the rule are noted. (LS)

This guide continues instruction of the three guides in SE 012 723 and of the two guides included in SE 012 724. Counting skills, appreciation of pattern and order, and understanding of place value are extended to numbers up to one million, and the associative, commutative and distributive laws are made explicit. Manipulation of equations is…

Peer reviewedHoare, Graham T. Q. – Mathematics in School, 1982
Work with recurring decimals provides pupils with an opportunity for exploration and examination of a wide variety of mathematical ideas and strategies. Examples of work done by one group of pupils who were presented with an opportunity to explore such decimals is featured. (MP)

Peer reviewedClements, M. A.; Lean, G. A. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1994
Investigated the continuous fraction concepts of (n=59) students in grades four, five, and six. Students were confident and accurate when performing sharing tasks, but were much less successful on continuous quantity tasks involving formal fraction language and symbol manipulation fraction tasks.
