Rethinking Fractions - An Interview with Shelley Yearley

Summary : Explore a fractions learning trajectory (with assessments to guide instruction) emerging from 8 years of research in Ontario K-12 classrooms, focused on unit fractions as the key to understanding.            Podcast notes: Recorded Dec 2020, Tara is a researcher and Tweets at @TaraCFlynn. Shelley is a secondary teacher in Huntsville and Tweets at @ShelleyYearley. The Fractions Learning Pathway can be found at https://fractionslearningpathways.ca/  and an example of the fraction counting game can be found at https://fractionslearningpathways.ca/tasks/countGame.
