The Analysis of Students’ Learning Obstacles on the Fraction Addition Material for Five Graders of Elementary Schools

Abstract Various researchs have explained the students' difficulties in understanding fractions, so the researcher will analyze the student obstacle learning on fraction addition material. The approach used in this research is qualitative with the case study method. The subjects in this study...
