Cuneo, Diane O. – 1988
An understanding of fraction addition can be thought to involve two quantitative ideas: (1) the understanding that adding to an original quantity increases its size, and (2) a sense of how much increase occurs. Both of these ideas should underlie or inform a child's approach to problems involving fraction addition and thereby constrain the class…

Tatsuoka, Kikumi K.; Tatsuoka, Maurice M. – 1981
A new system of order analysis, developed by Takeya and called Item Relations Structure Analysis (IRSA), was described and used for examining the structural relations among a set of 24 items on the addition and subtraction of fractions. A diagraph showing 16 chains of items that had discernibly common features was generated by this method, and…

Sowell, Evelyn J.; Casey, Rita J. – 1982
The purpose of the two studies reported was to develop and validate clinical assessment instruments designed to identify both the progress of learners through a hierarchy of mathematics content and the mode of presentation through which learners can best handle the content. In Study 1, 73 second graders were given one of two forms of a 15-item…
