Abstract

The July issue … summer in the North and the monsoons in the South have set in, and across India, it seems a perfect time for craft and quiet reflective thinking. A standard definition of weaving is that it involves two sets of yarns- the warp and the weft. Could these be the mathematics teacher and the content that they transact? The articles in this issue weave patterns of beautiful mathematics and the pedagogy to match – you will see this across the sections from Features to the Pullout. Does one model fit all contexts in which fractions are used? Should we change the lens through which we view fractions? Narayana Meher picks up this thread in the Features section with Interpreting Fractions, describing various constructs for fractions, using examples from the textbooks and explaining why teachers should understand these constructs as they devise lesson plans and assessment.
