While many studies on early algebra have been conducted, there have been only a few studies on the operation sense as the fundamental element of algebraic thinking, especially the fraction operation sense. This study explored the dimensions of fraction operation sense and then investigated students' fraction operation sense. A total of 183 of sixth graders were surveyed and 5 students who showed high operation sense were clinically interviewed in order to analyze their algebraic thinking in detail. The results showed that students had a tendency to use direct calculation or employ inappropriate operation sense rather than to use the structure of operation or the relation between operations on the basis of algebraic thinking. This study implies that explicit instruction on early algebra is necessary from the elementary school years.

본 논문은 기본적인 계산능력이 뛰어난 초등학교 6학년 학생 2명을 대상으로 분수 나눗셈 문제를 해결하는 과정에서 나타나는 연산 감각을 분석하였다. 구체적으로 학생들이 분수 나눗셈의 다양한 의미와 모델을 어떻게 이해하고 있는지, 분수 나눗셈 알고리듬의 의미를 어떻게 이해하고 있는지, 그리고 이러한 연산의 의미와 성질을 어떻게 응용하는지에 대해 임상 면담을 통해 면밀하게 탐색하였다. 구체적인 에피소드를 바탕으로 연산감각의 구성요소별로 두 학생의 질적 차이를 분석하고, 이를 기초로 하여 초등학교 고학년에서 연산 감각 자체를 보다 집중적으로 조명해 볼 필요가 있다는 점을 강조하였다.

This study is a case study that considered fractional senses and fraction operation abilities for 107 gifted students in elementary school classes. In order to find out the fractional sense, in the first question comparing the sizes of fractions 2/3 and 4/5, the students showed a variety of strategies, but the utilization rate of strategies excluding reduction to a common denominator did not exceed 50%. The second question can be solved by using the first question. It is a problem of finding two fractions by selecting four from six numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 to create two fractions of which sum does not exceed 1. The percentage of correct answers to this question was about 27% (29 out of 107). Only 5 out of 29 students found answers using the first question, and the rest of the students sought answers through trial and error in various calculations. It shows that the item arrangement method from a deductive perspective has no significant effect on elementary school students. The percentage of correct answers was about 27% in the questions to find out the fraction operation ability-the question of drawing a 4/3 bar using a given 3/8-sized bar and 30.7% (23 out of 75) of the students who had wrong answers showed insufficient splitting operation. In addition, it has been shown that the operation of partitioning and iterating to form numerical senses and fractional concepts related to the fractions of the students has no significant impact.
