Description of Presentation:
This study investigated the degree to which lessons on fraction equivalence and fraction comparison in Common Core–aligned textbooks are anchored in principles of instruction that are empirically validated to increase student achievement. Specifically, we examined the frequency of various representations, whether or not the textbooks provide explicit instruction about representations, the ways in which students are required to use various representations, and the number of opportunities for instruction and practice with these representations.
