{"pk":28322,"title":"Non-Symbolic Ratio Sense Supports Symbolic Fraction Success","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Non-symbolic ratio processing and symbolic fraction processing both involve thinking about relations between two partsand relational thinking. Despite the close connections between non-symbolic ratio and symbolic fractions, previous re-search on non-symbolic ratio processing and symbolic fraction learning have proceeded separately. The current researchinvestigated whether children’s non-symbolic ratio sense support their symbolic fraction success. Using sample of 151children, we found that non-symbolic ratio sense significantly predicted fraction knowledge assessment scores and sym-bolic fraction comparison performance, but not for fraction number line estimation performance. The implications of thesefindings for theories of numerical development and for improving mathematics learning are discussed.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Abstracts-Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7m89321c","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Rui","middle_name":"","last_name":"Meng","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin Madison","department":""},{"first_name":"Percival","middle_name":"","last_name":"Matthews","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin Madison","department":""},{"first_name":"Edward","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hubbard","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin Madison","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T12:00:00-06:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28322/galley/18011/download/"}]}
