Tzur, Ron
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v30 n4 p390-416 Jul 1999
Studies the co-emergence of teaching and children's construction of specific conceptions that support the generation of improper fractions in a constructivist teaching experiment with two fourth-grade students posing and solving tasks in a computer microworld. Reports that examination of the teacher's adaptation of learning situations (tasks) and teacher/learner interactions fit within the constraints of the children's mathematical activity. Contains 33 references. (Author/ASK)
