Description
TitleDiscovering equivalent fractions and introducing fraction notation, Clip 1 of 5: Boats and fish, a conversation about building models
PublisherNew Brunswick, NJ: Robert B. Davis Institute for Learning, , c1993-10-04
DescriptionIn the first clip, researcher Carolyn Maher began the session with a discussion about a model that Mark had made for another class. The model was comprised of a boat, a fish, and two children. The researcher discussed the idea that if they all agreed to make the boat larger than the children and the children larger than the fish, they wouldn’t each make identical models, but the sizes would be proportional. The researcher then asked the students what that had to do with the mathematics they were learning, and students replied that the models they built to compare fractions were often different in size, but the relationships between the fractions within each model was the same.
