Efforts to define the fraction concept have frequently led to the identification of several different interpretations, such as part-whole, ratio, quotient, and multiplicative operator (Kieren, 1976). The part-whole interpretation is particu larly important, since it is often used by elementary school mathematics programs to introduce the fraction concept.
