abstract: Understanding of fractions is difficult for Indonesian students. This often leads to misinterpretation or difficulties in operation of fractions. In this study, a task aiming at identifying students' struggles in understanding the basic concept of part-whole relationships in fractions was developed and tested with six 4th-grade students. The task uses Indonesian sweet food, martabak, that has a rounded pizza-like shape as a context in which one slice was missing. Realistic Mathematics Education underlies the context designed, that was also inspired by the Dutch textbook Alles telt Q Basiswerkschrift. The aim is to identify students' understanding of the meaning of fractions as a part of a whole. The result of this study indicated that the students struggles can be identified as follows: making reference to the whole, making reference to the complete partition, and making sense of the incomplete partition. The study showed that the designed tasks have potentials to provoke students' reasoning in learning fractions. The findings indicate that when students learn fractions, their understanding of the meaning of fractions should be well addressed.
