WRDSB Math LRP - G1 Fractions

Grade 1 - Tier 1

⭐ Connecting Fractions to Essential Key Concepts ⭐️

Exploring Fractions offers authentic opportunities to revisit the Essential Key Concepts of Number Sense & Addition/Subtraction:

B1.2 → Compose and decompose to 50

Combining (composing) equal parts into 1 whole and partitioning (decomposing) 1 whole into equal parts allows students to revisit and solidify their understanding of composing and decomposing numbers.

B2.5 → Represent and solve equal-group problems (up to 10 items)

Representing fair-share fractional problems allows students to revisit solving equal-group problems (e.g., 2 packs of gum, with 5 pieces in each).

B1.6 use drawings to represent and solve fair-share problems that involve 2 and 4 sharers, respectively, and have remainders of 1 or 2
B1.7 recognize that one half and two fourths of the same whole are equal, in fair-sharing contexts
B1.8 use drawings to compare and order unit fractions representing the individual portions that result when a whole is shared by different numbers of sharers, up to a maximum of 10
