Description of Presentation:

This presentation reports on the development and implementation of an evidence-based intervention to increase students’ reasoning strategies and ability to communicate about fraction size and equivalence in two environments. While overall findings reveal that all students’ reasoning improved, those in the technology group provided more complete reasoning than those in the paper/pencil group.
