Jarrah, Adeeb M.; Wardat, Yousef; Gningue, Serigne – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2022
As national and international assessments continue to show students struggle with rational concepts, which are seen as a major stumbling block for future career in STEM fields, we used the certainty of response index (CRI) as a method of analysis to investigate a group of 40 United Arab Emirates (UAE) seventh grade students' understanding of basic…

Ebo Amuah; Ernest Kofi Davis – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
This study investigated children's knowledge of the addition of fractions with unlike denominators. It focussed on the strategies used by children to add fractions with unlike denominators. A cross-sectional survey of Grade 8 children in schools in two districts in Ghana was used. A test on the addition of fractions with unlike denominators was…

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…

Dogan, Adem; Sir, Havva Kevser Yildirim – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2022
One of the most fundamental subjects of primary school mathematics, the concept of fraction plays a key role in students' educational background. Students experience difficulties and misconceptions regarding this concept. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand this subject well and to use different teaching methods and techniques.…

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…

Matthias Grünke; Anne Barwasser; Linda Bell; Lilian Wasko; Vincent Connelly – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2023
Fractions are an integral part of the mathematics curriculum. Most students acquire proficiency with these concepts during the course of their elementary education and are usually able to perform basic fractions operations when reaching middle-school age. However, a considerable number of students require extra help to not fall further and further…

Windria, Hening; Zulkardi, Zulkardi; Hartono, Yusuf – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2020
Mixed numbers and fraction in general have been a problem for students not only in understanding the concept of itself, but also in understanding the operation of it, such as addition. Thus, supporting students in learning addition of mixed numbers is needed. The aim of this study is to develop a local instructional theory and materials related to…

Aleyna Altan; Zehra Taspinar Sener – Online Submission, 2023
This research aimed to develop a valid and reliable test to be used to detect sixth grade students' misconceptions and errors regarding the subject of fractions. A misconception diagnostic test has been developed that includes the concept of fractions, different representations of fractions, ordering and comparing fractions, equivalence of…

Putra, Zetra Hainul – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
The aim of this study is to investigate Danish pre-service teachers' (PSTs) mathematical and didactical knowledge of operations with rational numbers. This knowledge is studied through their collaborative activities to certain tasks related to the teaching of operations with rational numbers. An explicit model of the teachers' mathematical and…

Chin, Kin Eng; Jiew, Fui Fong – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
This article focuses on how two mathematics teachers (Amy and Beth -- pseudonyms) cope with the changes of meanings in multiplication due to the changes of contexts. It highlights the qualitative similarities and differences between these two teachers in the sense-making process of multiplication. A potentially useful framework of supportive and…

Dogan-Coskun, Sumeyra – International Journal of Instruction, 2019
The purpose of this study is to analyze pre-service elementary teachers' problems in terms of the different meanings of the addition of fractions and to determine the types of errors made in these problems. Data were collected from 83 pre-service elementary teachers in the spring semester of the 2016-2017 academic year by means of a problem posing…

Quane, Kate; Brown, Leni – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
Mathematics educators and researchers have advocated for the use of manipulatives to teach mathematics for decades. The purpose of this article is to provide illustrative uses of a readily available manipulative rather than a complete list. From an Australian perspective, Pop-it fidget toys can be used across the mathematics curriculum. This paper…

Hwang, Sunghwan; Yeo, Sheunghyun; Son, Taekwon – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
Developing textbooks of optimal quality is crucial for enriching the students' learning and understanding. This study examined fraction addition and subtraction problems in the U.S. and South Korean mathematics textbooks according to the types of denominators. In particular, we investigated Everyday Mathematics (EM) and South Korean mathematics…

Kang, Rui; Liu, Di – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2018
This article describes a study of how Chinese preservice teachers unpacked a learning goal pertaining to adding fractions and understanding the concepts underlying the operation. Based on work in the USA by Morris, Hiebert, and Spizter ("Journal for Research in Mathematics Education," 40(5), 491-529, 2009), 50 Chinese preservice teachers…

Makhubele , Yeyisani Evans – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2021
This paper presents an analysis of fractions errors displayed by learners due to deficient mastery of prerequisite concepts. Fractions continue to pose a critical challenge for learners. Fractions can be a tricky concept for learners although they often use the concept of sharing in their daily lives. 30 purposefully sampled learners participated…
