Abstract: This research examined the role of the teacher in supporting students to make sense of fraction multiplication when using a problem solving approach. Using a qualitative approach, the teaching of four skillful experienced sixth-grade teachers was examined as they implemented a problem-based unit on fraction multiplication. This paper will present a questioning framework used by teachers that supported students' conceptualization in this domain and highlight resulting implications for teacher practice.
