David W. Braithwaite; Robert S. Siegler – Grantee Submission, 2021
Learning fractions is a critical step in children's mathematical development. However, many children struggle with learning fractions, especially fraction arithmetic. In this article, we propose a general framework for integrating understanding of individual fractions and fraction arithmetic, and we use the framework to generate interventions…

McMullen, Jake; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M.; Lehtinen, Erno – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2015
Recent evidence suggests that early natural number knowledge is a predictor of later rational number conceptual knowledge, even though students' difficulties with rational numbers have also been explained by the overuse of natural number concepts--often referred to as the natural number bias. Hannula and Lehtinen ("Learn Instr"…
