The student uses fractions in problem-solving situations. Clarifying Activity Students create a fraction flip book using strips representing one whole, two halves, three thirds, four fourths, five fifths, six sixths, eight eighths, ten tenths, and twelve twelfths. Next, the students label a fractional part, lift the pages of the flip book, and record other fractions that are equivalent to it. Students then use Fraction Bars, Cuisenaire Rods, or Pattern Blocks to model the fractions in their chart and verify their equivalence. The student uses fractions in problem-solving situations.
Students compare the different amounts of red, yellow, and blue in the rectangle.
Students then build and record two other rectangles that fit this description, but use a different number of total tiles. Write a short paragraph describing your discoveries. The student uses fractions in problem-solving situations. Clarifying Activity Students use base ten blocks to represent fractions and record them in both fraction and decimal form. Clarifying Activity Students identify real-world uses of fractions and decimals and discuss when the representation of a part of a unit is important in real life.
