Abstract. Comparison of ratios is difficult for children and adults. We studied the role of salience and congruity in comparison of ratios using reaction time and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants were asked to decide which of two mixtures of red and white paint drops (presented in Arabic numerals) was darker.

Proportion: Learning Proportional Reasoning Together
2012Proportional reasoning is a broadly applicable skill that is fundamental to mathematical understanding. While the cognitive development of proportional reasoning is well understood, traditional learning methods are often ineffective. They provide neither real-time feedback nor sophisticated tools to scaffold learning.

Diagnostic assessment of children’s proportional reasoning
The Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2003A proportional reasoning item bank was created from the relevant literature and tested in various forms. Rasch analyses of 303 pupils' test results were used to calibrate the bank, and data from 84 pupils' interviews was used to confirm our diagnostic interpretations.

The Development of Proportional Reasoning in Qatar
The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1987Abstract The development of proportional reasoning in the Arabian Gulf State of Qatar and the United States was examined. The sample consisted of 554 children from Qatar and the U.S. from the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. The children were administered two paper and pencil tests: the Orange Juice Test developed by Noelting (1980), which measured ...

Proportional Reasoning and Percent
2016Schoenfeld (1992) notes that constructivism rooted in Piaget is grounded in the belief that “…learning proceeds through construction not absorption” (p. 340). He surmises that teacher beliefs directly influence their pedagogy, he notes a teacher who believed that, “…mathematics is fixed and predetermined, as dictated by the physical world” (p.

Improper Applications of Proportional Reasoning
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2003One of the major goals of elementary and middle-grades mathematics education is for students to obtain a deep understanding of the proportional model in a variety of forms and applications. However, the reinforcement of proportionality at numerous occasions in school mathematics, along with the teaching of some standardized methods for solving ...

Proportional Reasoning in Nursing Practice
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2001We investigate how expert nurses undertake the calculation of drug dosages on the ward. This calculation is error-critical in nursing practice and maps onto the concepts of ratio and proportion. Using episodes of actual drug administration gleaned from ethnographic study, we provide evidence that experienced nurses use a range of correct proportional ...
