Coordination of Units and Understanding of Simple Fractions: Case Studies.

Watanabe, Tad

Mathematics Education Research Journal, v7 n2 p160-75 Oct 1995

Investigated relationships between children's fraction concepts and whole number concepts. Four second graders were interviewed four times each over a seven-week period. Findings suggested that the schemes to coordinate units were closely related to how the children understood fractions. (Author/CMS)
