Add to ORKGThis paper is part of a study that arose from a concern about children's difficulties with decimal numbers and the role of calculators. The study was designed to gain information on how calculators affect children's understanding of decimal numbers in decimal concepts, computations, estimation and problem solving. Data from interviews and other sources (journal entries and worksheets) indicated that children generated links with their whole number and fraction ideas while working with decimals. This paper discusses research into how prior whole number and fraction knowledge influences the learning of decimals and provides evidence to support this view. The paper concludes with some suggestions for teachers and curriculum developer...
