Abstract

This research aims to analyse students’ understanding when a fraction is taught with multiple representations. The respondent 27 students of the 7th graders in junior high school. The research approach was qualitative. The data were collected through paper and pencil measure, observation, and interview. The data were analyzed by grounded theory with coding and constant comparison. The results showed two types of students’ understanding, there are procedural understanding (syntax thinking) and conceptual understanding (semantic thinking). The findings are then elaborated using some related theories to justify the results.

Keywords: fraction understanding junior high school student multiple representations
