Description of Presentation:
Research on quantitative reasoning suggests two interpretations of quantification; assigning a number to describe some amount, and conceiving some amount to compare it against others. This study explores the latter, specifically, how students at Grades 5 and 12 negotiate quantitative relationships given in equations and length representations.
