To be a proportional thinker you need to be able to think multiplicatively
How do you describe the change from 2 to 10?
Additive Thinking: Views the change as an addition of 8
Multiplicative Thinking:Views the change as multiplying by 5

Developing Proportional thinking
Fewer than half the adult population can be viewed as proportional thinkers
And unfortunately…. We do not acquire the habits and skills of proportional reasoning simply by getting older.

Decimals
Decimals are special cases of equivalent fractions where the denominator is always a
power of ten.
![Page 12: Decimals and Percentages](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681501b550346895dbe0249/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Misconceptions with Decimal Place Value:
How do these children view decimals?
1. Bernie says that 0.657 is bigger than 0.7
(decimals are 2 separate whole number systems separated by a decimal point, 657 is bigger than 7, so 0.675 is bigger than 0.7)
2. Sam thinks that 0.27 is bigger than 0.395
(the more decimal places, the tinier the number becomes, because thousandths are really small)
3. James thinks that 0 is bigger than 0.5
(decimals are negative numbers)
4. Adey thinks that 0.2 is bigger than 0.4 (direct link to fractional numbers , i.e. ½ = 0.2, ¼ = 0.4)
5. Claire thinks that 10 x 4.5 is 4.50 (when you multiply by 10, just add a zero)

It is a method of comparing fractions by giving both fractions a common denominator i.e. hundredths. So it is useful to view percentages as hundredths.
