Question 1
This model is exceptionally good at modeling fraction multiplication. It works when partitioning is challenging and provides a visual of the size of the result.
◦ Area model.
◦ Linear model.
◦ Set model.
◦ Circular model.
Question 2
To guide students to develop a problem-based number sense approach for operations with fractions all of the following are recommended EXCEPT:
◦ Address common misconceptions regarding computational procedures.
◦ Estimating and invented methods play a big role in the development.
◦ Explore each operation with a single model.
◦ Use contextual tasks.
