A study was conducted in two 4th grade classrooms based on current research of
foundational concepts of fraction and decimal knowledge, socio-cultural learning theory,
cognition and international mathematics education. The goal of this study was for
students to acquire conceptual and procedural knowledge of fraction and decimal
concepts. When students have multiple experiences delving into rigorous tasks with
fractions and decimals, researchers (Lamon, 2006; Siegler & Alibali 2005) suggest
students will show an increase in understanding. Cognition and developmental stages
were examined and incorporated within the suggested tasks of the instructional unit. With
assistance from current research, this study demonstrated students showed significant
gains from pre to post assessment. This study provided information that determined
students acquired a stronger foundation and a deeper understanding of decimals and
fractions, preparing them for middle and high school mathematics.
