Abstract:
A total of 84 students from a lower economic area, aged 8 to 14, were interviewed about their understanding of decimal fractions. Results showed that most students could give a context in which they saw decimal fractions outside of school. The vast majority could draw a diagram of how a cake or field could be divided equally among 10 or 100 people. However, few students under 14 could give either decimal fraction symbols or common fraction symbols to represent these divisions. Less than half of the students at ages 10, 11 and 12 could visualize what might come between 0 and 1. About half of th

Orientador: Vinício de Macedo Santos<br>Banca: Célia Maria Carolino Pires<br>Banca: José Carlos Miguel<br>Abstract: The rational numbers are shown as a subject that the students of the Elementary and High School have difficulties to learn. Some of these difficulties are due to the difference established between the daily use of the rational numbers by the student and the way it is taught at the school and, also for the ignorance, on the part of the school, of the multiplicity of their meanings. While the social use is centered in the decimal form, the school use lies more on the fractional for

Abstract:
Teachers recognise that many students of all ages experience difficulties understanding fractions, especially fraction equivalence. These students often resort to the application of procedures without understanding or invent their own based on their misconceptions. To advance students’ learning with understanding, teachers must gain insight into student thinking. By knowing what students can and can’t do, teachers can adjust their instruction by focusing tasks and lessons on particular areas of concern. Considerable research into fraction understanding was undertaken during the 1980’s. Few if

Thesis (MEd)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Research shows that misconceptions about calculations develop in many classrooms without being noticed and these are not corrected by repeated routine exercises. The misconceptions formed are at times the result of inappropriate models used to solve problems. An even bigger concern is that these particular models sometimes provide the correct answers by accident. This may result in the learner's belief in the models being reinforced, as described by Swan (n.d.). The aim of this study is to identify the misconceptions r
