Logical and Psychological Aspects of Rational Number Pedagogical Reasoning.

Orton, Robert E.; And Others

Hiroshima Journal of Mathematics Education, v3 p63-75 Mar 1995

Synthesizes research on content knowledge of rational numbers, the learning of rational number order and equivalence concepts, and teachers' pedagogical reasoning about these concepts. Uses teachers' descriptions of how a hypothetical student would understand rational numbers to sketch a formative model of pedagogical reasoning. (16 references) (Author/MKR)
