Influence of using the strategy of concept maps in learning fractions

This paper is about concept maps and how they can assist in the learning of concepts of mathematics. First the paper presents the theoretical background and working denitions for concept maps. Then this study examines the impact of using concept maps in learning of fractions. Results of this study indicated that using this strategy was effective in learning of fractions for fourth-grade students. This result conrms the effectiveness of the strategy of concept maps in teaching because it includes activities that link the concepts to help students understand new concepts and link them to previous ones.
