Learning fractions is a critical step in children's mathematical development. However, many children struggle with learning fractions, especially fraction arithmetic. In this article, we propose a general framework for integrating understanding of individual fractions and fraction arithmetic, and we use the framework to generate interventions…

Rutschow, Elizabeth Zachry; Sepanik, Susan; Deitch, Victoria; Raufman, Julia; Dukes, Dominique; Moussa, Adnan – Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, 2019
Analyses of literacy and numeracy levels worldwide by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development suggest that the U.S. population has one of the lowest numeracy levels among developed nations. Sixty-four percent of American adults are unable to use math and interpret math problems that most higher-level jobs require, and a full 30…

Xin, Yan Ping; Jitendra, Asha K.; Deatline-Buchman, Andria – Journal of Special Education, 2005
This study investigated the differential effects of two problem-solving instructional approaches--schema-based instruction (SBI) and general strategy instruction (GSI)--on the mathematical word problem-solving performance of 22 middle school students who had learning disabilities or were at risk for mathematics failure. Results indicated that the…
