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:

Examining the mutual relations between language and mathematics: A meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the authors may use language as a medium to communicate, represent, and retrieve mathematics knowledge as well as to facilitate working memory and reasoning during mathematics performance and learning.

TL;DR: This paper examined predictors of student's knowledge of fraction concepts and procedures in sixth grade (N = −334) and found that the combined predictability of the measures was lower for fraction procedures than for fraction concepts.
Why Is Learning Fraction and Decimal Arithmetic so Difficult
TL;DR: A review of fraction and decimal arithmetic can be found in this paper, where the authors identify and discuss two types of difficulties: inherent difficulties and culturally contingent difficulties that could be reduced by improved instruction and prior knowledge of learners.

Inclusion Versus Specialized Intervention for Very-Low-Performing Students What Does Access Mean in an Era of Academic Challenge?
Lynn S. Fuchs,Douglas Fuchs,Donald L. Compton,Joseph H. Wehby,Robin F. Schumacher,Russell Gersten,Nancy C. Jordan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined achievement gaps on fractions for very low performing students as a function of whether they receive inclusive fraction instruction or specialized fraction intervention and with the shift to Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

Domain-general mediators of the relation between kindergarten number sense and first-grade mathematics achievement.
TL;DR: Domain-general skills that mediate the relation between kindergarten number sense and first-grade mathematics skills were investigated and showed that both attention problems and executive functioning were unique predictors of mathematics outcomes.

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.
