Bárbara M. Brizuela Young Children’s Notations for Fractions
This paper focuses on the kinds of notations young children make for fractional numbers. The extant literature in the area of fractional numbers acknowledges children’s difficulties in conceptualizing fractional numbers. Some of the research suggests possibly delaying an introduction to conventional notations for algorithms and fractions until children have developed a better understanding of f...
متن کاملA revisit of a mathematical model for solving fully fuzzy linear programming problem with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers
In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp const...
متن کاملNotations for Living Mathematical Documents
Notations are central for understanding mathematical discourse. Readers would like to read notations that transport the meaning well and prefer notations that are familiar to them. Therefore, authors optimize the choice of notations with respect to these two criteria, while at the same time trying to remain consistent over the document and their own prior publications. In print media where nota...
متن کاملChildren ’ s Number Sequences : An Explanation of Steffe ’ s Constructs and an Extrapolation to Rational Numbers of Arithmetic
In regarding young children as mathematicians we need to pay close attention to how children develop their mathematical thinking. It would be misleading to assume that young children think mathematically in the same way as adult mathematicians. Children have to develop their mathematical structures and their ways and means of operating mathematically. These structures and operations have to be ...
متن کاملYoung Children's Probabilistic Thinking
Task-based interviews were used to investigate some aspects of probabilistic thinking in 74 children (aged 5 to 12 years) from three different Australian schools, who had received little or no instruction in this topic. As expected, there was evidence of the development of probabilistic reasoning with age, but analysis of the children’s responses and explanations revealed a variety of decision ...
