Developing Children’s Understanding of Fractions: An Intervention Study
Fractions constitute a stumbling block in mathematics education. To improve children’s understanding of fractions, we designed an intervention based on learningby-doing activities, which focused on the representation of the magnitude of fractions. Participants were 292 Grade 4 and 5 children. Half of the classes received experimental instruction, while the other half pursued their usual lessons...
متن کاملA descriptive study of juvenile family violence: data from intervention order applications in a Childrens Court.
There is increasing recognition that family violence may be perpetrated by juveniles against their parents and siblings, however empirical research regarding the nature and causes of such violence is relatively limited. This study examines juvenile family violence in the context of an Intervention Order (IO) being sought against a relative aged 18years or less. All cases over a 3-year period in...
متن کاملUnderstanding Admixture Fractions
Estimation of admixture fractions has become one of the most commonly used computational tools in population genomics. However, there is remarkably little population genetic theory on their statistical properties. We develop theoretical results that can accurately predict means and variances of admixture proportions within a population using models with recombination and genetic drift. Based on...
متن کاملOxfordshire Childrens Diabetes - The Primary Schools Intervention Programme
Poorly controlled diabetes adversely affects a child's education, with concentration difficulties, alterations in mood, behaviour and fatigue associated with high or low blood glucose levels. Between years 2004-6 we started all toddlers and children on intensive insulin regimens (multiple dose injection or pump) making it imperative that they received support during the school day. This require...
متن کاملUnderstanding Proof: Tracking Experts’ Developing Understanding of an Unfamiliar Proof
In this study, we adopt the notion of dense connection in the understanding of mathematics, and trace the development of these connections over time as participants make sense of an unfamiliar proof. By representing participants’ verbalized sensemaking with a network of ideas and resources that changes over time, we can investigate what features of a mathematical proof play more or less central...
