Thurtell, Elise; Forrester, Tricia; Chinnappan, Mohan – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2019
A deep understanding of fraction concepts and operations is necessary if pre-service teachers (PSTs) are to present the concepts in multiple forms to learners. Such an understanding needs to be grounded in rich conceptual knowledge. In the present study, we explore the development of this understanding by supporting a cohort of 103 PSTs, who had…

Bicknell, Brenda; Young-Loveridge, Jenny; Nguyen, Nhung – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2016
This design study investigated the use of multiplication and division problems to help 5-year-old children develop an early understanding of multiplication and division. One teacher and her class of 15 5-year-old children were involved in a collaborative partnership with the researchers. The design study was conducted over two 4-week periods in…

Lee, Jae Ki; Licwinko, Susan; Taylor-Buckner, Nicole – Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College, 2013
PEMDAS is a mnemonic device to memorize the order in which to calculate an expression that contains more than one operation. However, students frequently make calculation errors with expressions, which have either multiplication and division or addition and subtraction next to each other. This article explores the mathematical reasoning of the…
