A study of children's understanding of fraction size and its relationship to proportional reasoning

One purpose of this study was to investigate children's understanding of fraction size; specifically, their ability to order fractions and to relate the size of a fraction to whole numbers. Other purposes were to examine the relationships between children's understanding of fraction size and their knowledge of the multiplicative relationship between numbers as measured by a proportional-reasoning task and to explore the commonality among children's strategies for tasks involving multiplicative structures.
