Although we cannot make the digital video available as a download here, you may request a copy for particular uses. Specifically, our agreements with students’ families and our institutional review board that oversees the protection of human research subjects allow the video to be used in ongoing, interactive work with pre-service and practicing teachers or other educators. Other uses, such as materials development efforts, research studies and presentations, as well as other types of educational uses require special permission. Please direct all inquiries to [email protected]. This three-minute video segment was taken from a summer mathematics class in Michigan for rising fifth graders. In the video, students are discussing a "warm up problem" focused on identifying fractions as points on a number line. The correct answer to the particular problem being discussed is 1/3, and the target explanation would draw on the notions of the whole (the interval from 0 to 1), equal partitions of that whole, naming one part, and naming the number of equal parts. Aniyah shares her solution of 1/7 and other students –Toni, Lakeya, and Dante – ask her questions about her solution and her thinking. The video ends just before the class begins discussing this and other solutions.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/134321/1/naming-one-third-on-the-number-line.movhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/134321/2/naming-one-third-on-the-number-line_texttrack.srthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/134321/3/naming-one-third-on-the-number-line_context.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/134321/4/naming-one-third-on-the-number-line_transcript.pdfDescription of naming-one-third-on-the-number-line.mov : Primary asset: Streaming video, "Naming One-Third on the Number Line"Description of naming-one-third-on-the-number-line_texttrack.srt : Subtitles for video, "Naming One-Third on the Number Line" (to be integrated within KMC)Description of naming-one-third-on-the-number-line_context.pdf : Background and context for video, "Naming One-Third on the Number Line"Description of naming-one-third-on-the-number-line_transcript.pdf : Transcript for video, "Naming One-Third on the Number Line
