Soni, Meghna; Okamoto, Yukari – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Competence in fractions is important in achieving advanced mathematics such as algebra and calculus. To foster students' understanding of fractions, intervention studies have found number lines to be an effective representational tool. Yet, it is unclear whether or not number lines are equally effective regardless of the ways in which they are…
