Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Locate two given fractions (with the same denominator of 10 or less) on a number line(s) that is divided equally to match the denominator.
- Use the number line(s) to determine if the fractions are equal, greater than, or less than each other based on their location on the number line (e.g., 3/4 >1/4 because 3/4 is a greater distance from zero on the number line).
- Apply understanding of the symbols of <, >, and = with fractions.
- Understand the following concepts of comparison, greater than, less than, equal, fraction.

Cluster:
Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering. (Major Cluster) : Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters. |
