Bouck, Emily C.; Long, Holly – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2023
Mathematics education for students with and at-risk for a disability is important and high-quality, research-supported practices should be used for online teaching--whether intentional or as a result of a global pandemic. This single-case design multiple probe replicated across participants study explored the online delivery of an intervention…

Lewis, Katherine E.; Lynn, Dylan M. – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2018
Research on mathematics learning disability (i.e., dyscalculia) tends to adopt a deficit model of the learner and quantify the ways in which these students are deficient. In this study we adopt a radically different approach. We understand disabilities to result from issues of access, and we explore mathematics learning disability (MLD) by…

Lee, Mi Yeon; Lee, Ji-Eun – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
A task-based written survey was administered to 69 pre-service teachers (PSTs) at a large Midwestern University in the USA to examine their recognition of examples/non-examples of [one-fourth] presented in various forms of the area model, their perceived mathematical key points in identifying examples/non-examples, and their instructional…

Moyo, Methuseli; Machaba, France M. – Pythagoras, 2021
Our research with Grade 9 learners at a school in Soweto was conducted to explore learners' understanding of fundamental fraction concepts used in applications required at that level of schooling. The study was based on the theory of constructivism in a bid to understand whether learners' transition from whole numbers to rational numbers enabled…

Akuom, Denish; Greenstein, Steven – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
Positioning teachers as designers of curricular resources invites opportunities for exploration at the intersection of content, pedagogy, and design. As researchers accepting greater responsibility for preparing teachers to maintain a commitment to their pedagogical vision in practice, this work seeks to cultivate the imagination of humanistic…

Jinqing Liu – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Research on fraction knowledge has revealed that prospective teachers' (PSTs) often lack fraction proficiency. The aim of this dissertation was to develop and test an intervention intended to increase PSTs' fraction proficiency by focusing on fraction comparison. I first adopted a five-dimensional framework to define PSTs' fraction proficiency. I…

Rubia D. Anderson – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This study evaluated the effects of the "Super Solvers" Tier II fraction intervention program on the algebra and fraction skills of secondary students with mathematics learning disabilities and consistent low achievement in mathematics. A quasi-experimental group design was used to evaluate the performance of the treatment and control…

Karika, Tímea; Csíkos, Csaba – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
In this research, a new test for understanding simple fractions has been developed for students at the beginning of lower secondary education. In many countries, mathematics education in Grade 5 builds on elementary students' developing concepts of fractions. Understanding fractions causes many difficulties for students, and research on mental…

Thalmann, Ken – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Mobile devices, and their applications, are becoming common-place around the world, and especially with adult-age college students in the United States. At the same time, community college students who are interested in becoming members of the trade workforce, such as auto mechanics, are continuing to need to learn basic mathematic concepts such…

Getenet, Seyum – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This case study aims to describe the learning characteristics of a child and evaluate his preferences for using physical manipulatives (PM) and virtual manipulatives (VM) to solve fraction problems. The participant in this study was a fourth-grade child. The child was given similar problems to solve using PM and VM. Data sources were observations…

Lovemore, Tarryn; Robertson, Sally-Ann; Graven, Mellony – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This paper describes the authors' journey in designing a linear representation that aligns mathematics and music to support fractional reasoning. The three authors, guided by the theoretical framing of realistic mathematics education, engaged in a task design process over a 12-month period to develop integrated resources. Data were collected in…

Farrugia, Marie Thérèse – Teachers College Record, 2022
Context: The island of Malta is a former British colony, and to this day, education continues to be accessed bilingually. For mathematics education, Maltese and English are used for verbal interaction, with subject-specific words tending to be retained in English. Written mathematics texts are in English, including textbooks, worksheets, digital…

Simon, Martin A. – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
Promoting an understanding of multiplication of fractions has proved difficult for mathematics educators. I discuss a research study aimed at developing a concept of multiplication that supports both multiplication of whole numbers and multiplication of fractions. The study demonstrates how domain-specific theories grounded in two major…

Beckmann, Sybilla – Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
This commentary raises and discusses questions based on some of the agreements, disagreements, and themes found in the four chapters on fractions. It considers (1) the importance of tasks that are based in perception and readily available activity in light of an emphasis on problem solving in mathematics education, and the role that theories about…
