Patahuddin, Sitti Maesuri; Usman, H. B.; Ramful, Ajay – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2018
Given its pedagogical appeal, the number line is a commonly used representation in the teaching and learning of fractions. However, behind its apparent simplicity, this mathematical object may involve layers of complexity when looked at from the perspective of affordances as is the case in this study. In particular, this in situ exploration…

Copur-Gencturk, Yasemin; Ölmez, Ibrahim Burak – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
Attending to the whole unit that a number refers to in a mathematical problem situation and showing flexibility in coordinating different units are foundational for mathematical understanding. In this study, we explored teachers' attention to and flexibility with referent units in situations involving fractions and fraction multiplication. Using…

Karl W. Kosko; Enrico Gandolfi; Temitope Egbedeyi – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2024
This study used traditional and holographic video, along with eye-tracking technology, to examine how preservice teachers' physical act of looking is associated with how they attend to and assess students' fraction reasoning. Findings revealed that, although viewing of holograms may have influenced more focus on students' work area, there was…
