strategies for finding equivalent fractions.

Skills:

Students are able to:

Represent fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 using a visual model and decimal notation.

Understanding:

Students understand that:

Fraction equivalence applies to decimal fractions with denominators of 10 and 100.
Decimals can be decomposed and described using place value understanding.
Example: 0.13 as one-tenth and three-hundredths, or thirteen hundredths.

Diverse Learning Needs:

Essential Skills:

Learning Objectives:
M.4.18.1: Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size.
M.4.18.2: Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole.
M.4.18.3: Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
M.4.18.4: Convert fractions to decimals.
M.4.18.5: Compare two decimals to tenths.
M.4.18.6: Compare whole numbers.
M.4.18.7: Identify comparison symbols.
Examples: >, <, and =.

Prior Knowledge Skills:

Define equivalent.
Recognize pictorial representations of equivalent fractions.
Recognize different interpretations of fractions, including parts of a set or a collection, points on a number line, numbers that lie between two consecutive whole numbers, and lengths of segments on a ruler.
Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
Label a fraction with multiple representations. Recognize that a whole can be partitioned into differing equal parts (halves, fourths, eighths, etc.).
Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares; and describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters; and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of.
Recognize different interpretations of fractions, including parts of a set or a collection, points on a number line, numbers that lie between two consecutive whole numbers, and lengths of segments on a ruler.
Label a pictorial representation.
Recognize that a fraction is a part of a whole.
Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares; describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters; and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of.
Define numerator and denominator.
Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares; describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc.; and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, or four fourths.
Recognize that a whole can be partitioned into differing equal parts (halves, fourths, eighths, etc.).
Identify parts of a whole.
Represent a fraction with a pictorial model.
Identify <, >, and = signs.
Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
Recognize that a whole can be partitioned into equal parts (halves, fourths, eighths, etc.).
Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
Define greater than, less than and equal to.
Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.
Arrange two-digit numbers in order from greatest to least or least to greatest.
Identify zero as a place holder in two-digit and three-digit numbers.
Model using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons of two two-digit numbers.
Select numbers on a number line that are more than, less than or equal to a specified number.
Match the words greater than, equal to and less than to the symbols >, =, and <.
Determine the value of the digits in the ones and tens place.
Identify sets with more, less or equal objects.
