Ervin, Heather K. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2017
It is well documented in literature that rational number is an important area of understanding in mathematics. Therefore, it follows that teachers and students need to have an understanding of rational number and related concepts such as fraction multiplication and division. This practitioner reference paper examines models that are important to…

Jacobson, Erik; Izsák, Andrew – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2015
Past studies have suggested that in light of recent curriculum standards, many US teachers make limited use of drawn models in their mathematics instruction. To gain insight into this phenomenon, we investigated relationships between US teachers' opportunities to learn about, knowledge of, motivation for, and instructional use of drawn models for…

Whitman, Nancy C. – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Described is a game that is used to introduce the concept of multiplying integers. Serving as a physical model for the concept, "Froggie Frolic" races frogs along a number line by moves that indicate direction, magnitude, and number of jumps, thus modeling integer multiplication. A teacher's guide and worksheets are provided. (MDH)
