Jennifer M. Tobias; Neet Priya Bajwa – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
After years of noticing the challenge our students have with fraction operations, we decided to implement a scaffold approach that focuses on using benchmarks to better develop both students' understanding of a fraction as a quantity and their ability to think about fraction operations meaningfully. While we found this approach supported students…

Matthias Grünke; Jennifer Karnes; Anne Barwasser; Mack Burke – Journal of Education and Learning, 2024
This paper presents a replication study investigating the effectiveness of a strategy to assist students with learning difficulties in adding fractions. Drawing on the research conducted by Grünke et al. (2023), this single-case analysis extends the application of the "Look, Ask, Pick" (LAP) mnemonic technique initially introduced by…

Boby Ho-Hong Ching; Xiang Yu Li; Tiffany Ting Chen – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Recent research showed that cross-notation magnitude knowledge of fractions and decimals was related to better performance in fraction arithmetic, but it remains unclear whether it made an independent contribution to fraction arithmetic longitudinally when other cognitive variables are considered. Aims: To examine the extent to which…

Kelly-Ann Gesuelli; Nancy C. Jordan – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Fraction arithmetic facility is fundamental to learning more advanced math topics. However, attaining the ability to add and subtract fractions is hard for many students. The present longitudinal study examined students' growth on simple addition and subtraction word problems between fourth and sixth grades (N = 536). Latent class growth analyses…

Erik Jacobson – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2024
This study used units coordination as a theoretical lens to investigate how whole number and fraction reasoning may be related for preservice teachers at the conclusion of a math methods class. The study contributes quantitative evidence that units coordination provides a common foundation for both mathematical knowledge for teaching whole number…
