MATH STANDARD(S): NC.3.NF.4: Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size, using area and length models, and using the >, <, and = symbols.
OBJECTIVE(S):
Reason about unit fractions to compare two fractions using the sizes of the unit fractions shown by the denominator and the number of parts shown by the numerator.
Determine if fractions to be compared have the same numerators or denominators.
Use models or number lines to explain why one fraction is greater than or less than another.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): How do we compare fractions?
I CAN STATEMENT(S): I can explain how we compare fractions.
VOCABULARY: compare, numerator, denominator, unit fraction
MONDAY: Students will explore what it means to compare fractions. They will compare fractions with the same denominators using models and number lines. (Lesson 18)
TUESDAY: Students will use models to compare two fractions that either have the same denominators or the same numerators. (Lesson 18)
WEDNESDAY: Students will demonstrate their understanding of comparing two fractions that have either the same numerator or the same denominator. (Lesson 18)
THURSDAY: Students will review for and test on Lesson 18: Understand Comparing Fractions.
FRIDAY: Students will complete make-up work for Lesson 17: Find Equivalent Fractions. EARLY DISMISSAL TODAY!!
