مستخلص: This study will investigate a teaching intervention designed to improve prospective teachers' abilities to coordinate levels of units within their understanding of fractions. Unit coordination is a well-defined construct within the literature in terms of how students understand fractions and progress through understanding them. However, much is to be learned about the specific ways in which we can identify and impact this understanding within undergraduate mathematics content courses for future teachers. This study will consider an intervention that allows prospective teachers to explore fractional situations whose solutions require the coordination of three levels of units. We hypothesize participants might better understand and internalize this coordination through explorations and activities in classroom settings. Specifics for data collection/analysis and next steps are shared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
