According to results, students participated in the study had five different misconceptions type about fractions. They are: Unequal partitioning misconceptions; misconceptions about the expansion and simplification of fractions; misconceptions resulting from conceiving number line in part-whole relationship; misconceptions because of using unequal parts of a whole while adding; misconceptions about adding numerators and denominators of fractions.
