The student describes and compares fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. Clarifying Activity Students use pattern blocks to represent fractions. Students record their observations in a table and look for patterns. Clarifying Activity Students use Cuisenaire rods to build a wall in which one is represented by a train of rods. For example, an orange rod plus a red rod might represent one.
Students then use the wall to identify equivalent fractions.
The student describes and compares fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. Using their model, they build representations of mixed numbers. The student describes and compares fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. The student describes and compares fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. Clarifying Activity Students use base ten blocks to represent fractions and record them in both fraction and decimal form.
