Earlier this year, a trio of mathematicians decided to make lemons into lemonade — and ended up making major headway on a problem that mathematicians have been thinking about for centuries.

Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 60, No. 1 (2005), pp. 37-69 (33 pages) This study examined changes in 26 fourth-grade students' early conceptions of rational number representations as a ...
