Rayner Bin Tangkui; Tan Choon Keong – Anatolian Journal of Education, 2023
This study aims to investigate the effect of using Minecraft on Year 5 pupils' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in fractional problems-solving. A quasi-experimental pretest and posttest non-equivalent groups design was used. The study sample involved 65 Year 5 pupils from two intact classes which consists of 31 pupils as the treatment group and…

Copur-Gencturk, Yasemin – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
This article explores three attributes of teachers' understanding of fraction magnitude: the accuracy and reasonableness of teachers' estimations in response to fraction arithmetic tasks as well as the alignment of the estimation strategies they used with the concept of fraction magnitude. The data were collected from a national sample of…

Shaughnessy, Meghan; Garcia, Nicole – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
This paper examines the possibilities of designing a formative assessment that gathers information about novice elementary teachers' skills with modeling content and makes sense of such information. A decomposition of the practice of modeling content was developed and used to design the assessment. Participants included ten first-year teachers who…

Harbour, Kristin E.; Livers, Stefanie D. – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
This article presents activities focused on developing some essential Year 1-3 fraction understandings (i.e., joining/composing, decomposing/ partitioning) while aligning these activities to the Australian Curriculum content strands and content descriptions. Additionally, the authors describe the materials/resources needed, the key vocabulary…

Monari Martinez, Elisabetta; Neodo, Katia – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
After some studies on students with Down syndrome (DS) who learned algebra and problem solving and few single case studies on analytic geometry, here the experience on analytic geometry was extended to 6 adolescents with DS, who attended mainstream schools. They were taught individually in the afternoon, one day per week, for 9 months by the same…

Hariyani, Mimi; Herman, Tatang; Suryadi, Didi; Prabawanto, Sufyani – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2022
This research aims to explore students' learning obstacles in solving fraction problems in elementary school. This qualitative research used a case study method. The research subjects involved 30 third-grade elementary school students from two different schools in Bandung City, Indonesia. The instruments utilized were test and non-test. The test…

Zhang, Shudong; Yu, Shuyuan; Xiao, Jing; Liu, Yunting; Jiang, Ting – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Fractions are an important mathematical concept for elementary students. However, students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) struggle with learning fractions. Research has demonstrated that concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) instruction is an effective practice for students with learning and developmental disabilities. Here we…

Bouck, Emily C.; Park, Jiyoon; Cwiakala, Katie; Whorley, Abbie – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2020
Fractions are an important mathematical concept for both more advanced mathematical concepts and daily living activities (e.g., cooking) and thus are important for all students to learn. In this study, researchers explored the use of the virtual-abstract (VA) instructional sequence to teach three middle school students with disabilities three…

Lee, Ji-Eun; Lee, Mi Yeon – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2020
This study is an investigation of elementary preservice teachers' (PSTs') exploration of model breaking points in fractions. Eighty-three PSTs at two universities in the Midwestern and Southwestern regions of the USA were asked to explore the area model of fraction addition through a series of tasks and explain their reasoning in determining its…

Powell, Sarah R.; Nelson, Gena – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
To understand misconceptions with rational numbers (i.e., fractions, decimals, and percentages), we administered an assessment of rational numbers to 331 undergraduate students from a 4-year university. The assessment included 41 items categorized as measuring foundational understanding, calculations, or word problems. We coded each student's…

Hwang, Jiwon; Riccomini, Paul J. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2021
Developing an understanding of fractions is critical as a significant predictor for the learning progression of advanced domains; however, students face significant challenges in learning fractions because of their unique properties. To systematically approach remediation, this study examined the common error patterns committed by middle-school…

Pouta, Maikki; Lehtinen, Erno; Palonen, Tuire – Educational Psychology Review, 2021
The aim of this study was to investigate differences in student teachers' and experienced teachers' professional vision in natural settings and to elicit clues of the relation of in-the-moment noticing and instruction quality of students' understanding of rational number concept. Rational number concept challenges both students and teachers…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Malone, Amelia S. – Elementary School Journal, 2021
The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to gain insight into whether teaching fractions improves teachers' understanding of fractions. University master's students (n = 25) conducted tutoring on fraction magnitude in grades 3-5. The contrast condition, 17 master's students drawn from the same pool of research assistant applicants,…

Erol, Mustafa – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2021
The aim of this study is revealing the strategies used by 5th-grade students in comparing fractions. In line with this purpose the study is based on qualitative research. Participants of the study conducted with convenient sampling method are seventy 5th-grade students. The students have been asked six questions which necessitate comparison of…

Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Schumacher, Robin F.; Dimino, Joseph; Smolkowski, Keith; Spallone, Samantha – Exceptional Children, 2021
Using a randomized controlled trial, we examined the effect of a fractions intervention for students experiencing mathematical difficulties in Grade 5. Students who were eligible for the study (n = 205) were randomly assigned to intervention and comparison conditions, blocked by teacher. The intervention used systematic, explicit instruction and…
