Opportunities to Learn Fractions in Elementary Mathematics Classrooms.

Gearhart, Maryl; Saxe, Geoffrey B.; Seltzer, Michael; Schlackman, Jonah; Ching, Cynthia Carter; Nasir, Na'ilah; Fall, Randy; Bennett, Tom; Rhine, Steven; Sloan, Tine F.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v30 n3 p286-315 May 1999

Addresses the questions of how documented opportunities to learn can be aligned with NCTM Standards, and how elementary teachers' efforts to provide such opportunities can be supported. Conducts a study of the effects of curriculum (problem solving versus skills) and professional development (subject-matter focused versus collegial support) on practices and learning. Creates three scales for estimating students' opportunities to learn. Contains 53 references. (Author/ASK)
