Izsák, Andrew; Jacobson, Erik; Bradshaw, Laine – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2019
We report a novel survey that narrows the gap between information about teachers' knowledge of fraction arithmetic provided, on the one hand, by measures practical to administer at scale and, on the other, by close analysis of moment-to-moment cognition. In particular, the survey measured components that would support reasoning directly with…
