Unit 3: Fraction EquivalentsIn this unit students will learn:
• Fractions can be represented visually and in written form.
• Fractions with differing parts can be the same size.
• Fractions of the same whole can be compared.
• Fractions with the same amount of pieces can be compared using the size of their pieces.
• Fractions can be compared using benchmarks like 0, 1
• Fraction relationships can be expressed using the symbols, >, <, or =.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
● What is a fraction and how can it be represented?
● How can equivalent fractions be identified?
● In what ways can we model equivalent fractions?
● How can identifying factors and multiples of denominators help to identify equivalent fractions?
● What are benchmark fractions?
● How are benchmark fractions helpful when comparing fractions?
● How can we use fair sharing to determine equivalent fractions?
● How do we know fractional parts are equivalent?
● What happens to the value of a fraction when the numerator and denominator are multiplied or divided by the same number?
● How are equivalent fractions related?
● How can you compare and order fractions?
● How do I compare fractions with unlike denominators?
● How do you know fractions are equivalent?
● What can you do to decide whether your answer is reasonable?
● How do we locate fractions on a number line?
