Proportional Reasoning Models in Developing Mathematics Education Curricula for Prospective Elementary School Teachers

A study of pre-service primary school teachers in Singapore and the United States revealed superior performance by the Singaporeans on proportional reasoning problems. Analysis of solutions showed the Singapore future teachers were more likely to use unitary and
benchmark approaches than were their American counterparts. Conclusions include suggestions for programs intended to improve the performance of prospective elementary school teachers on proportional reasoning problems.
