Students build on their understanding of fractions with equivalence and comparisons and represent fractions using area models and number lines. They will use and understand fraction notation, including using fractional names equivalent to one whole (Example: express 3 in the form 3 = 3/1; locate 4/4 and 1 at the same point of a number line.) Students will also explore fractions greater than one whole. By the end of this unit, students will explain equivalence of fractions and compare fractions by reasoning about their size. We will also return to our work with elapsed time. Our focus will be on measuring and solving time intervals in minutes by representing the problem on a number line. This is a very quick unit that will be completed this month.
