Sun, Xu Hua; Xin, Yan Ping; Huang, Rongjin – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Whole Number Arithmetic (WNA) appears as the very first topic in school mathematics and establishes the foundation for later mathematical content. Without solid mastery of WNA, students may experience difficulties in learning fractions, ratio and proportion, and algebra. The challenge of students' learning and mastery of fractions, decimals, ratio…

Howe, Roger – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
This paper makes a proposal, from the perspective of a research mathematician interested in mathematics education, for broadening and deepening whole number arithmetic instruction, to make it more relevant for the twenty-first century, in particular, to enable students to deal with large numbers, arguably an essential skill for modern citizenship.…

Cramer, Kathleen; Monson, Debra; Ahrendt, Susan; Wyberg, Terry; Pettis, Christy; Fagerlund, Chelsey – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2019
This paper shares how fourth grade students solved a unique type of number line task. Instead of giving students the unit and asking them to locate a fraction on the number line, students were given two points on the number line and asked to either find 1, or another number on the number line. This type of task is called "reconstructing the…

Sidney, Pooja; Thompson, Clarissa G.; Opfer, John E. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Children's understanding of fractions, including their symbols, concepts, and arithmetic procedures, is an important facet of both developmental research on mathematics cognition and mathematics education. Research on infants', children's, and adults' fraction and ratio reasoning allows us to test a range of proposals about the development of…

Bal Incebacak, Belgin; Ersoy, Esen – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measuring instrument that can measure the level of mathematical language used by students and their teachers during the teaching of fractions to fourth-grade primary school students. This study is a methodological validity and reliability study. In total, 999 students from fourteen different…

This study's 1st purpose was to investigate effects of a 4th- and 5th-grade "next-generation" fraction intervention, which included 6 enhancements over a previously validated fraction intervention, designed to address Career- and College-Readiness standards. The next-generation intervention is referred to as "Super Solvers."…

Putra, Zetra Hainul; Dahnilsyah; Aljarrah, Ayman – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2021
Mathematical and didactic knowledge presented in mathematics textbooks and other resources, like mathematics comics (MCs), needs to be evaluated from a lens of appropriate theoretical framework in mathematics education before it can be used as a medium for teaching and learning mathematics. Therefore, this study investigates mathematical and…

Clemente, Francisco; Fortuny, Josep Maria – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
In this work we will analyze the relation between registers of representation and the construction of the fraction concept. Ninety-six students from first year of compulsory secondary education participated in the study, and performed equal share tasks in the context of Egyptian fractions (unit fractions with different denominators). The aim was…

Tian, Jing; Bartek, Victoria; Rahman, Maya Z.; Gunderson, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
Number lines and area models are both used pervasively in teaching fractions. Prior studies found that second and third graders demonstrated better magnitude knowledge of proper fractions after a 15-minute training using the number line as compared to using the area model. The current study aimed to extend these findings to improper fractions. We…

Bütüner, Suphi Önder – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
In this study, Turkish and Singaporean textbooks were compared in terms of teaching content for multiplying fractions, a subject that most students have difficulty in understanding. The study analyzed the 6th-grade mathematics textbook published by the Turkish Ministry of National Education and its Singaporean counterpart. While the Singaporean…

Chu, Yun Li Lynnette; Toh, Tin Lam – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2020
Developing primary school students' interest in and getting them motivated to learn mathematics has been a perennial focus of educators. The use of comics for classroom instruction is an area gaining more attention from educators. In this paper, we review some existing education literature on the impact of comics on students' cognitive and…

Isitan, Selin; Dogan, Mevlüde – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2020
This study aimed to enrich the learning environment of the 5th grade students with the interdisciplinary activities designed by connecting mathematics and music. The activities integrated the concepts of music such as note, beat, and measure with the concept of fractions in mathematics to ensure active participation of students and to promote…

McKevett, Nicole M.; Kromminga, Kourtney R.; Ruedy, Amelia; Roesslein, Rachel; Running, Kristin; Codding, Robin S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2020
National assessments suggest that many students do not display proficiency with fractions. Considering that time and materials are precious resources, many educators are looking to use technology to provide supplemental instruction with low demand on the instructor. The current study utilized a multiple-baseline design to examine the effects of…

Lemonidis, Charalampos; Pilianidis, Nikos – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2020
One of the attributes of rational numbers that make them different from integers are the different symbolic modes (fraction, decimal and percentage) to which an identical number can be attributed (e.g. 1/4, 0.25 and 25%). Some research has identified students' difficulty in mental calculations with rational numbers as has also the switching to…

Eason, Sarah H.; Ramani, Geetha B. – Child Development, 2020
This study examined parent-child math talk within three contexts (formal learning; guided play; unguided play) in order to identify characteristics of activities supporting high-quality math engagement. Seventy-two dyads of parents and 4- and 5-year-olds were observed using a set of toy foods; instructions and materials varied across conditions.…
