Fractions Overview: Lessons Nine through Fourteen

Lesson 9: Introduction to Equivalent Fractions. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to generate equivalent fractions by splitting each subunit into equal lengths, counting how many subunits are now in the unit interval, and naming an equivalent fraction by applying the definitions for subunit, denominator, and numerator.

Lesson 10: Equivalent Fractions - More Strategies. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to generate equivalent fractions by splitting each subunit into either two or three equal lengths, counting how many subunits are now in the unit interval, and naming an equivalent fraction by applying the definitions for subunit, denominator, and numerator.

Lesson 11: Which Fractions are Equivalent? By the end of the lesson, students will be able to place three fractions with unlike denominators and identity whether any are equivalent fractions.

Lesson 12: Order and Compare: With Benchmarks. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to order and compare fractions with like and unlike denominators, using the definition for equivalent fractions, as well as the benchmark principle, an idea that supports reasoning about fraction values in relation to 0, 1/2, and 1.

Lesson 13: Ordering and Comparing. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to order and compare fractions with like and unlike denominators by applying all of the fractions definitions.

Lesson 14: Fractions Review. By the end of the lesson, students will able to apply the principles and definitions for fractions (and integers) to solve the review tasks.
