Designing Technology Supported Scaffolding for Fractions Learning in Primary Schools

Abstract

In the field of Mathematics education, there are the urgent needs of developing technology supported adaptions for students with learning difficulties due to the nature of Mathematical problem solving, the disparities in Mathematics achievement and the importance of Mathematics subject in education and job market. In this paper, a technology-supported learning environment with the employment of mechanism of scaffoldings: scaffolding changes and scaffolding logic for fractions word problems solving among students with LD was introduced. Specifically, the literature and rationales of the system design and development were discussed and presented.
