Influence of using the strategy of concept maps in learning fractions

This paper is about concept maps and how they can assist in the learning ofconcepts of mathematics. First the paper presents the theoretical backgroundand working denitions for concept maps. Then this study examines the impactof using concept maps in learning of fractions. Results of this study indicatedthat using this strategy was eective in learning of fractions for fourth-gradestudents. This result conrms the eectiveness of the strategy of concept mapsin teaching because it includes activities that link the concepts to help studentsunderstand new concepts and link them to previous ones.
