Dear All,

I'm afraid the following seminar has been cancelled due to AUT strike  
action on the day. Apologies for this.

Equivalence of fractions: why it is important and when it is easy

Professor Terezinha Nunes
Department of Educational Studies
University of Oxford

Tuesday 7th March 2006
5.30 - 7.00 pm

Rational numbers pose problems for learners that differ radically  
from those in the domain of whole numbers. One of them is  
equivalence. Two sets with the same number label are equivalent;  
those with different number labels are not. Neither of these  
statements is necessarily true of rational numbers. This talk will  
discuss the different situations in which fractions are used and will  
show how their differences relate to children's understanding of the  
equivalence of fractions.

Venue for both events:
Room 1/16
Franklin Wilkins Building Annex, Waterloo Road.
The entrance to the School of Education is on Waterloo Road, just off  
Waterloo Bridge.
A map of the locality is available at:

You are invited to stay for drinks at 7.00.

All are welcome. RSVP
