Abstract | Many mathematics educators believe that it is insufficient for students' knowledge of the division of fractions to be limited to the invert-and-multiply algorithm, arguing that students' learning of mathematics must go beyond rote memorization of procedures. Teachers ought to carefully consider what students need to learn beyond the algorithmic procedure; developing students' conceptual understanding of division is not a trivial task. This article discusses the various ways students need to learn about fractions through dividing them, and why this knowledge is important. Chinese and American perspectives and approaches in teaching fractions are compared. (Contains 5 figures.) (ERIC). |
