Behr, Merlyn J.; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v15 n5 p323-41 Nov 1984
Fourth-grade students' understanding of the order and equivalence of rational numbers was investigated in 132 interviews during an 18-week teaching experiment. Six children were instructed individually and as a group at two sites, with instruction relying heavily on manipulative aids. Strategies used to compare fractions were identified. (MNS)
