Peer reviewedOlive, John – Mathematical Thinking and Learning, 1999
Studies two children working in the context of specially developed computer microworlds with a teacher/researcher for approximately 45 minutes a week for 50 weeks over a two-year period. Indicates that the operations and unit types associated with the children's whole-number sequences did not interfere with the reorganization of their fractional…

Where Do Fractions Encounter Their Equivalents?: Can This Encounter Take Place in Elementary-School?
Peer reviewedArnon, Ilana; Nesher, Pearla; Nirenburg, Renata – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2001
Describes computer software called Shemesh designed for learning equivalence-classes of fractions. Describes interviews with fifth-grade students who used the software in their learning activities. Evidence indicates initial actual development of desired mathematical concepts. (Author/MM)
