Fractions can be a tricky concept for students although they often use the concept of sharing in their daily lives. Notation of fractions and formal vocabulary may be some reasons for that. Students may have difficulty with learning fractions since they do not like behave normal numbers (Ardogan & Ersoy, 2003; Graeber & Triosh, 1990). The aim of this paper is to understand the students' conceptual and procedural understanding of addition and subtraction of fractions. Pirie and Kieren Model is used as a framework. This model is supported with the hands-on activities and implemented with Australian students.

A study on pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge regarding the multiplication and division of fractions
Işıksal, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006)
The purpose of this study was to examine pre-service mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and the relationships between the two on multiplication and division of fractions. For this purpose, pre-service teachers’ understanding of key facts, concepts, principles, and proofs, their knowledge on common (mis)conceptions and difficulties held by the elementary students, their strategies of teaching these concepts, and representations they use to reason their understandin...
An investigation of mathematics anxiety among sixth through eighth grade students in Turkey
Birgin, Osman; Baloğlu, Mustafa; Catlioglu, Hakan; Gurbuz, Ramazan (2010-12-01)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate mathematics anxiety among 220 sixth through eighth grade Turkish students in terms of mathematics achievement levels, perceived enjoyment of the mathematics teaching method, perceived enjoyment of mathematics, and perceived help with mathematics from parents. The Mathematics Anxiety Scale for Primary School Students (Bindak, 2005) was used to assess the levels of mathematics anxiety. A 3 x 2 factorial analysis of variance results showed that there was not a...
A case study of elementary mathematics teachers' views of their and students' textbook usage and of mathematics textbooks' characteristics
Başer, Nadiye; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ ways of using mathematics textbooks while planning the lesson and during the lesson, to document teachers’ views about elementary students’ usage of mathematics textbook during the classroom time and for their homework and teachers’ views about mathematics textbooks’ characteristics. A case study was conducted in a private elementary school with more class hours for mathematics and six mathematics teachers teaching 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade mathemati...
An Investigation of young children’s informal fraction knowledge
Utku, Burcu; Olgan, Refika; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to investigate five-year-old children’s informal knowledge about basic fraction concept in terms of part-whole relationship, one-half, one-third and quarter concept. The sample of the study consisted of 27 preschool age children living in Çankaya district of Ankara. The research has been realized by qualitative design and data were collected through interviews in one-to-one settings. The interview questions were prepared by the researcher under the supervision of both early chi...
