Visualizing fractions with Geogebra

The purpose of this study is to investigate the visualization of fractions using GeoGebra. Some studies had shown that students have poor conceptualization in visualizing fractions. Using GeoGebra enhances the understanding of fractions. GeoGebra provides a platform to construct fractions using rect...
