Rational Numbers : Fractions and Decimals, Set B, Using Research: A Key to Elementary School Mathematics / Marilyn N. Suydam and J. Fred Weaver.

Reported are suggestions indicated by research studies to eight questions concerning the teaching of rational numbers. (1) Can young children learn fractional concepts? Answer: Manipulative materials are of value to learning in the primary grades. (2) How should the common denominator be determined?...

520 |a Reported are suggestions indicated by research studies to eight questions concerning the teaching of rational numbers. (1) Can young children learn fractional concepts? Answer: Manipulative materials are of value to learning in the primary grades. (2) How should the common denominator be determined? Answer: Both factoring and equivalent fractions are good. (3) Does error analysis help? Answer: Identification and correction of specific errors should yield greater achievement. (4) How should we teach multiplication? Answer: No conclusion. (5) How should we teach division? Answer: Inversion and reciprocal algorithms seem most effective. (6) What other things affect achievement? Answer: Manipulative materials, practice and meaningful teaching all help. (7) Should decimals, fractions, and place value be related? Answer: Yes, these concepts should be associated. (8) How should we teach placement of the decimal point when dividing? Answer: Greater accuracy results from the "multiplication by a power of ten" approach. (RS)
