TLDR
This article investigated the developmental predictors of children's fraction concepts and procedures at the end of fourth grade in a 2-year longitudinal study and found that number line estimation, attentive behavior, calculation fluency, and working memory made unique contributions to the acquisition of fraction arithmetic procedures.About:

Longitudinal algebra prediction for early versus later takers
TL;DR: In this article, a key issue is whether students should take Algebra I in Grade 8 versus Grade 9, and a large scale large scale comparison of the two classes is presented.

Do children understand fraction addition
TL;DR: This paper found that children's estimates of fraction sums were no more accurate than if they had estimated each sum as the average of the smallest and largest possible response, and that the weak performance could not be attributed to poor mastery of arithmetic procedures, poor knowledge of individual fraction magnitudes, or general inability to estimate sums.

Spontaneous partitioning and proportion estimation in children’s numerical judgments
TL;DR: Results demonstrated that the proportion estimation framework provides a good explanation of children's number line placement in the absence of explicit midpoint cues, that explicit cues to the midpoint are associated with more frequent use of middle reference points in young children, and that children can use a middle reference point spontaneously in the presence of explicit cues.

Addressing Challenging Mathematics Standards with At-Risk Learners: A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Effects of Fractions Intervention at Third Grade.
Lynn S. Fuchs,Amber Y. Wang,Kristopher J. Preacher,Amelia S. Malone,Douglas Fuchs,Rachel Pachmayr +5 more
TL;DR: The authors assess the effects of fractions intervention for students who are at risk for poor outcomes and examine whether a component that combines self-regulated learn-to-adaptation and self-adaptive learning is effective.

Fraction Development in Children: Importance of Building Numerical Magnitude Understanding
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the understanding of numerical magnitudes for whole numbers as well as for fractions is critical to fraction learning in particular and mathematics achievement more generally, and support an approach to teaching fractions that centers on a number line.

Applied multiple regression/correlation analysis for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: In this article, the Mathematical Basis for Multiple Regression/Correlation and Identification of the Inverse Matrix Elements is presented. But it does not address the problem of missing data.

Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a conceptual understanding of the material rather than proving results and stress the importance of checking the data, assessing the assumptions, and ensuring adequate sample size so that the results can be generalized.
