Abstract

This paper will discuss the findings of a curriculum research project related to multiplication and division of fractions. This study is based on student interviews and classroom observations during two one-month long teaching experiments in two urban classrooms. We found how students make sense of complex situations involving fraction multiplication and the effectiveness of various models on student learning. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
