Abstract:
In the second clip of this classroom session, researcher Carolyn Maher reminded the students about the “Candy Bar” problem that they had discussed in an earlier session. She showed the students a drawing of the candy bar and asked the students to think of other number names that they could provide for one half of the candy bar. The students worked in their groups for a couple of minutes and then shared their ideas in a whole class discussion. Meredith and Erik provided solutions of six twelfths and two fourths, and Jackie offered a solution of six twelfths during the class discussion. After Danielle presented her solution of two fourths, some students disagreed, and then Danielle offered a second explanation. Brian named the part three sixths, and explained that he had found groups of squares that could be called sixths. At the overhead, he showed directly that there were six pairs of squares and three of those groups spanned half the grid. The researcher then reviewed the number names that had been provided by the students and recorded the equivalences on a transparency. She then asked the students if it was also true that one fifth was equal to two tenths, and the students responded in the affirmative. ; Transcript and student work are also available. ; Robert B.
