Abstract
Misconceptions in mathematics make it difficult for students to learn. Identifying these misunderstandings and finding ways to solve them can help teachers take constructive steps to improve student learning And it helps students learn better from math lessons and become more interested in learning math. Fractions are one of the most widely used concepts in elementary mathematics. Students deal with fractions and related operations at almost all elementary school math levels. In this article, we examine the misconceptions that elementary school students encounter in learning fractions. We also offer two solutions to deal with misconceptions. Multiple representations are introduced as one of the solutions to eliminate the misunderstandings of the fractions and some examples are provided in this regard. Also, Bybee teaching method, which is one of the learner-centered teaching methods, is suggested as another solution to eliminate misunderstandings in the field of fractions, and it is explained by giving examples.
