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.}, msc2010 = {D42xx (C32xx F42xx)}, identifier = {2004d.03269}, }
