Add to ORKGBased on a survey of 3067 Finnish 5th and 7th graders and a task-based interview of 20 7th graders we examine student's understanding of fraction. Two tasks frame a specific fraction (34) in different contexts: as part of an eight-piece bar (area context) and as a location on a number line. The results suggest that students ' understanding of fraction develops substantially from 5th to 7th grade. However, Part-to-Whole comparison is strongly dominating students ' thinking, and students have difficulties in perceiving a fraction as a number on a number line even on 7th grade
