About the Book

Flexible use of rational number representations is an important part of the proficiency targeted in the elementary and middle school grades. This three-part dissertation study investigated fourth through sixth grade students' successes and difficulties in reinterpreting notational forms for rational number in terms of one another. Study 1 examines, through a paper and pencil assessment, fourth grade (N = 158) and sixth grade (N = 167) students' (a) conversions between fraction and decimal notations; and (b) reinterpretations of these notations as graphical notations (both shaded parts of area and points on the number line). Findings indicated that students often had limited success converting, there was little progress from grade 4 to grade 6, and conversion knowledge was related to success reinterpreting fraction and decimal notations as graphical notations. Studies 2 and 3 further investigate students' conversion and reinterpretation strategies through individual interviews. Study 2 examines fifth grade students (N = 28) reinterpretations of (a) fractions in terms of graphical notations, and (b) decimals in terms of graphical notations. Findings indicated that students generally used appropriate strategies to represent fraction notations as shaded parts of area, but they were less likely to do so when representing a decimal notation as a shaded part of area. No detectable differences were found in students' use of appropriate strategies to locate a fraction on the number line versus a decimal on the number line. Study 3 examines fifth grade students (N = 31) reinterpretations of (a) shaded parts of area in terms of fraction and decimal notations, and (b) points on the number line in terms of fraction and decimal notations. Findings indicated that students were more successful at reinterpreting points on the number line as decimal than as fraction notations; there were no detectable differences when reinterpreting a shaded part of area in fraction or decimal notation. These studies reveal the character of students' conceptual difficulties in reinterpreting one notation for rational number in terms of a second type of notation and point to the need for research on instructional strategies that have promise for supporting students' learning.
