In this topic, students will:
find equivalent fraction that name the same part of the whole
represent equivalent fractions on the number line
use models such as fraction strips to compare fractions that refer to the same whole and have the same denominator
use models such as fraction strips to compare fractions that refer to the same whole and have the same numerator
use benchmark numbers to compare fractions
use the number line to compare fractions
use fraction names to represent whole numbers
Vocabulary:
Equivalent fractions - fractions that name the same part of a whole or the same location on a number line
At-home Practice:
Supplies:
a deck of cards (remove face cards)
Scrap paper and a pencil
Divide the deck into 3 even piles. Each player should take one pile and keep it facedown. Leave the third pile facedown in the middle between the two players. Flip over one card from the middle pile. This will be your denominator (bottom number of th fraction). Each player will then flip over 1 card from their pile. The cards will be the numerator (top number of the fraction). Decide who has the larger fraction. It may be helpful to draw the fraction using a rectangle. The player with the larger fraction wins all the cards. Continue playing until the middle pile of cards is gone. The player with the most cards wins.
