Abstract
Fractions are a part of mathematics that is provided to students in grade 4 (of elementary school) who are aged 9-11 years old on average and still engaged to concrete thinking. On contrary, mathematics is dominated by abstract material. It is necessary to create ways to represent fractions in concrete form. The purpose of this study was to find out the thinking flow of 4th grade students to understand the concept of fractions using a fractions board. Subjects of the study were 33 students. The result shows that students have been able to make simple discoveries about equivalent fractions and to sum two unlike simple fractions using "fractions board" without finding common denominators on prior.
