Question 1 (32)

1. Name four types of models in learning fractions and how they can be
progressively used in an intermediate phase mathematics classroom. (8)

1. Area Models: Area models help students understand the concept of fractions by
representing them in terms of shaded areas. Students can use these models to learn
how to identify parts of a whole and compare fractions with different denominators. In
an intermediate phase mathematics classroom, students can progress from simple
area models to more complex models that involve mixed numbers and improper
fractions.

2. Number Line Models: Number line models provide a visual representation of
fractions on a number line. This can help students understand the concept of
fractions as points on a line and compare fractions with different numerators and
denominators. In an intermediate phase mathematics classroom, students can
progress from simple number line models to more complex models that involve
decimals and operations with fractions.

3. Fraction Tiles: Fraction tiles are manipulatives that allow students to physically
manipulate and visualize fractions. This can help students develop a concrete
understanding of fractions and their relationships to each other. In an intermediate
phase mathematics classroom, students can progress from using fraction tiles to
solve simple fraction problems to using more complex fraction tiles that involve
mixed numbers and improper fractions.

4. Bar Models: Bar models represent fractions as bars that can be partitioned into
equal parts. This can help students understand the relationship between fractions
