Using Models to Build Fraction Understanding

We share the impact different models have on students' fraction thinking. We have come to understand, through several teaching experiments, how fraction circles, paper folding and number lines support students' learning about key fraction ideas including the role of the unit, partitioning,...

Zusammenfassung:We share the impact different models have on students' fraction thinking. We have come to understand, through several teaching experiments, how fraction circles, paper folding and number lines support students' learning about key fraction ideas including the role of the unit, partitioning, and fraction order.
