Purpose: This study aims to define the solutions towards fractions and solving models case of fourth grade primary school students. Design/Methodology/Approach: Case study of qualitative research was used in this study. Selected by means of convenient case sampling, 113 fourth grade primary school students were included in this research. Fractions test developed by the researchers was applied to the students and the data obtained from the students were analyzed with descriptive analysis. Findings: Primary school 4th grade students were able to rank equal fractions of units and denominators, and add and subtract operation in fractions and solve problems that require these operations. It was seen that students who could model fraction types (simple, improper, whole number of fraction) could not determine the fraction of a multiplicity, but they could show the fraction of the multiplicity on at model. Students modelling types of fractions (proper, improper, mixed) are not able to define a fraction of multiplicity whereas they seem to determine the fraction on a model. Highlights: It has been determined that students who can model ordering fractions with equal denominators cannot model ordering unit fractions, addition and subtraction, and problems that require these operations.
