Jane Hubbard; Hannah Marino
Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, v28 n4 p10-18 2023
For students to develop adequate conceptual understanding about fractions, they require experiences that afford them opportunities to think flexibly about multiple interpretations of fractions. This article presents a sequence of lessons designed to offer such experiences for students in Years 3 and Year 4. The lessons adopt a challenging tasks lesson design and are intended to be implemented through a structured inquiry lesson model.
