Dixon, Juli K.; Tobias, Jennifer M. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2013
What does it look like to "understand" operations with fractions? The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) uses the term "understand" when describing expectations for students' knowledge related to each of the fraction operations within grades 4 through 6 (CCSSI 2010). Furthermore, CCSSM elaborates that…
