A Proposed Model for Teaching and Learning Common Fractions, and the Operations of Multiplication and Division of Fractions.

Damarin, Suzanne K.

A model for fractions derived by an operation of "scattering into subunits" is hypothesized. Five stages in the model are discussed. Assumptions underlying the development of the model, features of the model, and disadvantages of the model are listed. (DT)
