Abstract: The study examined how the 3-3-3 teacher education model prepares pre-service teachers to understand fraction equivalence. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from two final-year elementary school pre-service teachers at a teacher education college in Zimbabwe through a 5-item test. The participants were purposively selected because they taught grade 6 during their teaching practice. Results showed that while the participants understood unit equivalence, they struggled with proportional equivalence and had difficulty manipulating fractions with differing quantities. They performed better with quantitative invariance but had difficulty comparing shapes, preferring structural invariance. The study concluded that the 3-3-3 teacher education model does not equip pre-service teachers with the knowledge of proportional equivalence. The study contributed to knowledge by highlighting the importance of conceptual understanding of fraction equivalence, a concept that has been ignored and taken for granted even in teacher education.
Keywords: unit equivalence, proportional equivalence, teacher education
