Description
Summary:This study investigates the pedagogy and evaluation of fractions throughout the educational progression, ranging from early childhood education to the K-10. The article is presented from fundamental fraction notions, with concrete illustrations, through more complex numerical operations. The introduction addresses mathematical and ordinary contexts, while the primary emphasis is on the efficacy of using visual aids and real-world illustrations to enhance comprehension. The research furthermore examines a range of evaluation techniques, including formative assessments and technology-enhanced evaluations, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of students’ skills. The highlighted instructional routes include a range of approaches, focusing on personalized learning and prompt feedback. The use of sophisticated digital technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality, presents a potentially fruitful path for enhancing the effectiveness of fraction instruction. Although conventional approaches have established a solid foundation, integrating additional digital tools can improve students’ learning experience.
