Teaching Fractions without Numbers.

Berman, Barbara; Friederwitzer, Fredda J.

School Science and Mathematics, v83 n1 p77-82 Jan 1983

School experiences need careful planning to include sequential activities which develop accurate concepts, and concepts are thought best developed by activities which move along the concrete-to-abstract continuum.
