Flores, Alfinio; Turner, Erin E.; Bachman, Renee C.
Teaching Children Mathematics, v12 n3 p117 Oct 2005
The way in which two teachers, Elizabeth and Carolyn, posed problems to develop their own conceptual understanding of division of fractions in terms that would also be meaningful for their students is described. Carolyn and Elizabeth's approach is to pose several problems of various degrees of difficulty and complexity for each aspect of the situation.
