Description

Fraction Subtraction and Addition Assessment Expert-Derived Q Matrix

Usage

qmatrix_fractions

Format

An object of class matrix (inherits from array) with 20 rows and 8 columns.

Details

Each entry in the matrix is either 1, if the Item uses the Trait, or 0, if the Item does not use the Trait. The traits identified by this matrix are:

• Trait1: Convert a whole number to a fraction,

• Trait2: Separate a whole number from fraction,

• Trait3: Simplify before subtraction,

• Trait4: Find a common denominator,

• Trait5: Borrow from the whole number part,

• Trait6: Column borrow to subtract the second numerator from the first,

• Trait7: Subtract numerators,

• Trait8: Reduce answers to simplest form.

The subjects answered the following assessment items:

• Item01: 5/3 - 3/4

• Item02: 3/4 - 3/8

• Item03: 5/6 - 1/9

• Item04: 3*1/2 - 2*3/2

• Item05: 4*3/5 - 3*4/10

• Item06: 6/7 - 4/7

• Item07: 3 - 2*1/5

• Item08: 2/3 - 2/3

• Item09: 3*7/8 - 2

• Item10: 4*4/12 - 2*7/12

• Item11: 4*1/3 - 2*4/3

• Item12: 11/8 - 1/8

• Item13: 3*3/8 - 2*5/6

• Item14: 3*4/5 - 3*2/5

• Item15: 2 - 1/3

• Item16: 4*5/7 - 1*4/7

• Item17: 7*3/5 - 2*4/5

• Item18: 4*1/10 - 2*8/10

• Item19: 4 - 1*4/3

• Item20: 4*1/3 - 1*5/3
