Using an Iceberg Model to Target Students' Difficulties in Fraction Understanding
The purpose of this session is to introduce participants to a Fraction Iceberg Intervention Model which can be used as a tool for identifying students’ fraction difficulties and for planning and monitoring interventions. Results of the use of the model by classroom teachers, indicate that the participating students made significant gains in their fraction understanding. Effective questioning strategies were found to be critical to the success of the interventions. Teachers reported that use of the model increased their awareness of basic fraction components and enabled them to identify and target specific areas of student’s difficulties.
- We will introduce teachers to a fraction iceberg framework detailing the various skills associated with fraction understanding.
- After viewing videos of students being assessed, participants will practice using an iceberg assessment rubric to determine students' misunderstandings about fractions.
- After scoring the rubric, participants will identify and develop a plan of intervention.
