In this article, we report the findings of a study conducted with 6 Grade 8 students in the United States. The students posed stories for open number sentences involving addition and subtraction of integers. We analysed the stories posed by the students to build models that describe the conceptual structures behind these posed stories -- the…

Makonye, Judah Paul; Fakude, Josiah – SAGE Open, 2016
The study focused on the errors and misconceptions that learners manifest in the addition and subtraction of directed numbers. Skemp's notions of relational and instrumental understanding of mathematics and Sfard's participation and acquisition metaphors of learning mathematics informed the study. Data were collected from 35 Grade 8 learners'…

Braithwaite, David W.; Siegler, Robert S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Fraction arithmetic is among the most important and difficult topics children encounter in elementary and middle school mathematics. Braithwaite, Pyke, and Siegler (2017) hypothesized that difficulties learning fraction arithmetic often reflect reliance on associative knowledge--rather than understanding of mathematical concepts and procedures--to…
