    Investigating Fifth-Grade Students’ Conceptions of Fractions on the Number Line
    (NCTM Research ConferenceAt: San Francisco, 2016) Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Tunc-Pekkan, Zelha; Aydın, Utkun; Birgili, Bengi; Özcan, Mustafa
    In this study, clinical interviews focusing on students’ understanding of fractions as numbers on the number line were conducted with six fifth-grade students both before and after an intervention designed by teacher-researchers. Although in general students demonstrated improved understanding of fraction concepts even in situations requiring reversible thinking, difficulties in finding benchmarks on the number line and a limited awareness of density of fractions on the number line persisted among students.
