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

Mathematics Education Seminar Series 2005/6
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
