Abstract

This paper reports on a study undertaken on the development of the common fraction concept in Grade Three learners. According to the principles of a problem-centred approach to teaching and learning, learners were encouraged to discuss, reflect on and make sense of the mathematics they were doing while solving problems set in real-life contexts as vehicles for learning. The results indicate that learners are able to develop a stable common fraction concept and a deeper understanding of the concept.
