Scene 1

MPPU 1003 INNOVATION IN LEARNING AND TEACHING Assignment 1: Problem Identification

Scene 2

Students facing difficulties in understanding the topic fractions. Students always make mistake while solving fraction question, especially question involved the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fraction with like denominator and unlike denominator, mixed fraction and improper fraction.

Scene 3

Primary students feel that fraction is a complicated topic to learn and they feel difficult to comprehend it (Ray & Felix, 2019). Students often process numerator and denominator as two separate whole number (florence, 2013), therefore, they apply procedures that can only be used with the whole number.

Scene 4

Why it is important to solve this problem?

Fraction plays key role in mathematics, it involves in probabilities, proportional and algebraic reasoning.

Scene 5

Through interviewing the primary students about which topic is the most difficult topic for them to totally understand. Through observing the students’ work.

a) Every monng. Joyce spent hm.r to trave J to K md another one
hour to travel from K to L Did you think that the distance tmNeen JK and.KL
is the same? Justify ymr [Iml
Same.
b) If the distarre between JK and KL is equal, what of X? [2m]

Scene 8

Who else has attempted to solve the problem?

Enable students to visualize the parts of fraction and explore fraction relationship.  Allow students to develop a concrete understanding of fractions and mixed numbers, investigate equivalency, compare and order fractions and explore number operations with fractions

Scene 9

A puzzle fraction game  APP  can be created to allow students understand fraction through game.

Scene 10

To cultivate students’ interest on fraction and make students feel that fraction is actually not difficult.  Students can be motivated when they win the game. Students have more chances to understand about fraction through playing the puzzle game as they need to choose the puzzle block using addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

Scene 11

This app game can only be used as an additional tool to enhance students’ interest on fraction. It requires iPad and computer, therefore, hard to implement in the school if teacher wants to involve all students.
