Description

The intervention material for the experimental group was a set of target-focused picture stories written in accordance with the curriculum objectives for rational numbers. Each story is "a narrative unit that includes seven episodes", whose protagonist is "a unit fraction that wants to raise his value in order to be accepted by his parents and teachers", helped by two whole numbers, 3 and 5. Students watch the characters' adventures while learning fractions and their properties, and the stories open discussion of friendship, companionship and diversity.
