Doing collaboration and learning fractions with mobile devices

This paper presents a system for learning collaboration while doing a fractions activity using personal mobile devices. Equipped one-to-one with a smartphone, each primary school student is assigned a fraction and has the task of forming a whole unit of one out of single fractions from other students. Thus they leverage on their mathematical knowledge as well as social relationships to complete the task. They are required to work both on the technological and semiotic levels to form small groups of different sizes. The paper presents the design of the activity and some initial findings arising from a conducted trial involving 16 students.
