M1 Ordering Fractions: Simulated Classroom Materials for Teacher Training

Educational Testing Service and Mursion developed the GO Discuss project materials for preservice elementary teachers. This specific data project includes materials for one elementary mathematics task, called Ordering Fractions, where teachers lead a discussion on ordering three fractions. The materials include scenario details, student work, and resources for teacher educators, such as sample videos.

Use Cases

• Analyze teacher facilitation strategies based on the provided discussion scenario and student work
• Develop training modules for teacher educators based on the included sample videos and specialist training materials
• Study pedagogical approaches to fractions instruction based on the task's focus on ordering fractions and generalization of strategies

Strengths

• Materials are part of a four-year project developed and validated by Educational Testing Service and Mursion
• Includes resources for multiple stakeholders: pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and simulation specialists

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
