Fokides, Emmanuel; Alatzas, Konstantinos – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2023
Primary school students have trouble understanding concepts related to fractions. On the other hand, technology constantly provides interesting tools that stimulate students' interest and foster learning. Among these, tangible user interfaces allow users to interact with digital applications through the manipulation of everyday objects. Given that…

Irfan Fauzi; Andika Arisetyawan; Jiraporn Chano – International Online Journal of Primary Education, 2023
This study aims to develop a didactic design using Engklek games to teach the concept of fractions in elementary schools. This study combines a cultural approach, namely Engklek games with mathematics in the concept of fractions. This study used didactical design research, with 2 research subjects, namely 20 students in grade 5 for learning…

Jennifer Talbot; Amanda Cullen; Cheryl Lizano – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Understanding fraction as a quantity has been identified as a key developmental understanding. In this study, students in Grades 5, 8, and 11 were asked to compare the areas of two halves of the same square--a rectangle and a right triangle. Findings from this study suggest that students who understand fraction as a quantity use reasoning related…

Matthias Grünke; Anne Barwasser; Linda Bell; Lilian Wasko; Vincent Connelly – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2023
Fractions are an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Most students acquire proficiency with these concepts during the course of their elementary education and are usually able to perform basic fractions operations when reaching middle-school age. However, a considerable number of students require extra help to not fall further and further…

Colonnese, Madelyn W. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2022
The purpose of this article is to share how one teacher implemented exploratory writing within a mathematics lesson to support her third graders in making sense of fractions and communicating their mathematical ideas. The author defines exploratory writing, then describes the teacher's lesson while also presenting a general overview about how to…

Novita, Rita; Herman, Tatang; Dasari, Dadan; Putra, Mulia – European Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This research aims to determine second-year university students' understanding in interpreting and representing fractions. A set of fraction tests was given to students through two direct learning interventions. An unstructured interview was used as an instrument to obtain explanations and confirmations from the purposive participants. A total of…

Bissell, J. J.; Nagaitis, A. M. – Physics Education, 2022
Puzzles involving infinite networks of resistors are an engaging way for students to explore the idea of infinity and self-similarity in physics. Recently K Atkin has described one such puzzle, alongside a solution based on an equivalent finite network (2022 "Phys. Educ." 57 025015). Here we present a generalisation of this problem which…

Alexandria A. Viegut – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Fractions are foundational for success in algebra and STEM, but they are notoriously difficult for students. In past work, two separate branches of research from psychology and math education have studied fractions knowledge using different, isolated approaches. In this dissertation, I synthesize research from both fields about proportional…

Hurst, Michelle A.; Cordes, Sara – Developmental Science, 2019
Across two experiments, we investigated how verbal labels impact the way young children attend to proportional information, well before the introduction of formal fraction education. Five- to seven-year-old children were introduced to equivalent non-symbolic proportions labeled in one of three ways: (a) a single, categorical label for multiple…

Robertson, Sally-Ann; Graven, Mellony – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
This paper illuminates challenges confronting teachers and students at the literacy/numeracy interface in contexts where students have not developed sufficient English language proficiency to be learning mathematics through English but, due to socio-politically and economically driven perceptions are being taught in English. We analyse transcript…

Chaoran Shen; Qingyuan Chen; Nan Zhang; Fengxin Diao; Pengfei Liu; Xinlin Zhou – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
The ability to apply mathematical knowledge to solve real-life problems is often considered one of the fundamental educational goals. However, more attention in mathematics education has been given to the development of abstract mathematical computations in symbolic form. The current investigation aims to disclose whether there are different…

Kristie J. Newton; Amanda Jansen; Peter Puleo – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Despite the documented influence of motivation on mathematics learning for most students, we understand far less about this relation for students identified with learning disabilities. Based on Rogoff's three planes of analysis (i.e., personal, community, and interpersonal), we gathered survey, interview, and video data to understand the…

Jing Tian; David W. Braithwaite; Robert S. Siegler – Grantee Submission, 2020
Three rational number notations--fractions, decimals, and percentages--have existed in their modern forms for over 300 years, suggesting that each notation serves a distinct function. However, it is unclear what these functions are and how people choose which notation to use in a given situation. In the present article, we propose quantification…

Leib, Elena R.; Starr, Ariel; Younger, Jessica Wise; Bunge, Silvia A.; Uncapher, Melina R.; Rosenberg-Lee, Miriam – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The present study tests two predictions stemming from the hypothesis that a source of difficulty with rational numbers is interference from whole number magnitude knowledge. First, inhibitory control should be an independent predictor of fraction understanding, even after controlling for working memory. Second, if the source of interference is…

Resnick, Ilyse; Newcombe, Nora; Goldwater, Micah – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
There is strong evidence from research conducted in the United States that fraction magnitude understanding supports mathematics achievement. Unfortunately, there has been little research that examines if this relation is present across educational contexts with different approaches to teaching fractions. The current study compared fourth and…
