Abstract

The identification of constituent elements of the algorithms for fraction division’s teaching models is one of the main objectives of the study whose results are reported in this article. Texts for teaching mathematics written during the 13th to 21st centuries were analysed in order to track the aforementioned components over time. Documents’ scrutiny was based on historical-epistemological analysis, as well as on content analysis. Information obtained from such inquiries, contributes to the history of mathematics education and forms a valuable corpus for teacher training and curriculum designers
