Liu, Qiushan; Braithwaite, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Rational numbers are represented by multiple notations: fractions, decimals, and percentages. Whereas previous studies have investigated affordances of these notations for representing different types of information (DeWolf et al., 2015; Tian et al., 2020), the present study investigated their affordances for solving different types of arithmetic…

Marah Sutherland; David Furjanic; Joanna Hermida; Ben Clarke – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2024
This article illustrates how teachers can use number lines to support students with or at risk for learning disabilities (LD) in mathematics. Number lines can be strategically used to help students understand relations among numbers, approach number combinations (i.e., basic facts), as well as represent and solve addition and subtraction problems.…

Haman, Maciej; Lipowska, Katarzyna – Developmental Science, 2023
In numerical cognition research, the operational momentum (OM) phenomenon (tendency to overestimate the results of addition and/or binding addition to the right side and underestimating subtraction and/or binding it to the left side) can help illuminate the most basic representations and processes of mental arithmetic and their development. This…

Taylor Lesner; Marah Sutherland; Cayla Lussier; Ben Clarke – Intervention in School and Clinic, 2024
Building proficiency with fraction arithmetic poses a consistent challenge for students with learning difficulties or disabilities in mathematics. This article illustrates how teachers can use the number line model to support struggling learners in making sense of fraction arithmetic. Number lines are a powerful tool that can be used to help…

Cui, Zhihao; Ng, Oi-lam; Jong, Morris Siu-Yung – Educational Technology & Society, 2023
Grounded in problem-based learning and with respect to four mathematics domains (arithmetic, random events and counting, number theory, and geometry), we designed a series of programming-based learning tasks for middle school students to co-develop computational thinking (CT) and corresponding mathematical thinking. Various CT concepts and…

Rafael Ramírez; Bárbara M. Brizuela; Maria Blanton – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2024
In this article, we present research on eight kindergarten and eight first-grade students' understandings of the arithmetic properties of commutativity, additive identity, and additive inverse during a classroom teaching experiment, selected from a larger study that included 88 students. In this study, we explore the students' types of…

Bajo-Benito, José Mariano; Sánchez-Matamoros García, Gloria; Gavilán-Izquierdo, José María – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
This paper aims to characterise an indicator of the development of the number sequence scheme among students at the level of Compulsory Secondary Education (14-16 years old students). To do so, we use a scheme development proposed by the APOS theory to characterise students' use of relations between mathematical elements when solving a…

Oh Hoon Kwon – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
A new classification for semantic structures of one-step word problems is proposed in this paper. The classification is based on illustrations of word problem situations in Common Core State Standards (CCSSM, 2010) and related historical studies (e.g. Weaver, 1973, 1979, 1982), as well as conceptual elaborations of embodied and grounded nature in…

Braithwaite, David W.; Sprague, Lauren; Siegler, Robert S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
To explain children's difficulties learning fraction arithmetic, Braithwaite et al. (2017) proposed FARRA, a theory of fraction arithmetic implemented as a computational model. The present study tested predictions of the theory in a new domain, decimal arithmetic, and investigated children's use of conceptual knowledge in that domain. Sixth and…

Clarkson, Kelsey A.; Tobias, Jennifer M. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Representing repeating nonterminating decimals as rational numbers is a topic introduced in the seventh-grade Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. According to Content Standard 7.NS.2.D., students should be able to represent a rational number as a decimal and understand that the decimal will either end in zeros or eventually repeat (NGO…

Karabey, Burak – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2019
This study aims to introduce a method that is based on the relationship between numbers and geometry, which can be used to show the exact location of rational numbers on the number line, compare rational numbers, make calculations, and examine rational numbers conceptually through parallel lines. It is believed that this method will to contribute…

This document includes instructional tips on: (1) Building on students' informal understanding of sharing and proportionality to develop initial fraction concepts; (2) Helping students recognize that fractions are numbers that expand the number system beyond whole numbers, and using number lines to teach this and other fraction concepts; (3)…

Nur, Andi Saparuddin; Kartono, Kartono; Zaenuri, Zaenuri; Rochmad, Rochmad – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
The integer is a basic concept in studying arithmetic and algebra. However, students still frequently experience misconceptions, especially in negative integer, count operations. Traditional games are activities that are often carried out by students in coastal areas so that they are relevant to be used as a tool to construct learning trajectories…

Firozzaman, Firoz; Firoz, Fahim – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Understanding the solution of a problem may require the reader to have background knowledge on the subject. For instance, finding an integer which, when divided by a nonzero integer leaves a remainder; but when divided by another nonzero integer may leave a different remainder. To find a smallest positive integer or a set of integers following the…

The research examined the calculation methods used by pupils in Grades 3-6 when they were presented with problems that could be worked out efficiently and flexibly by applying number sense. The study was conducted with a convenience sample of 179 pupils between the ages 7 years and 10 months to 12 years and 10 months. in mainstream education in…
