Description of Presentation:
As fourteen preservice teachers engaged in a yearlong remedial mathematics skills course they began to use models to think about the relations embedded in fractions. The results of the embedded case study reveal that modeling was a necessary but not sufficient means for the preservice teachers to understand fractions as meaningful objects.
