Really thrilled that our project was funded! It will extend my dissertation work and investigate longitudinal connections between students’ fractions & algebra knowledge 🎉 This is a great team to work with!
Would also like to add that a key member of this research team is our consultant @AlexViegut! Also, PI Ana Stephens is on Twitter at @AnaStephens123. We'll be looking for a postdoc, so stay tuned if you might be interested!

How do you say “0.68”? Does it matter for learning? We taught 5th & 6th graders to use either decomposed labels (six tenths and eight hundredths), common-unit labels (sixty-eight hundredths), or point labels (point six eight). @_TIANJing @Ren_Kexin doi.org/10.1016/j.appdev.202… (1/x)
