Standard 2: Order and compare fractions and identify equivalent fractions.

Students are given a number line scaled by fourths and ask to label the notches.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are given a familiar fraction and asked to generate an equivalent fraction justifying their reasoning.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students compare two pairs of fractions and record their comparisons using the less than or greater than symbols.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students compare two fractional parts of two different wholes.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students determine whether or not fractions are equivalent.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to use a number line that includes the location of zero and one-sixth to find the location of four-sixths.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are given four number line diagrams and asked to choose the one that correctly shows the location of one-third.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to locate five-eighths on a number line that has been anchored by zero and one, but that has not yet been scaled.

Type: Formative Assessment

Students are asked to scale a number line from zero to one so that they can find the location of three-fourths.

Type: Formative Assessment

Illustrations that can be used for teaching and demonstrating fractions. Fractional representations are modeled in wedges of circles ("pieces of pie") and parts of polygons. There are also clipart images of numerical fractions, both proper and improper, from halves to twelfths. Fraction charts and fraction strips found in this collection can be used as manipulatives and are ready to print for classroom use.

Type: Image/Photograph

This lesson will help students understand that fractions are parts of a whole. The lesson introduces fractional parts using familiar manipulatives.

In this video, SaM-1 introduces a part 2 twist to the Model Eliciting Activity (MEA). In the optional twist, students will need to modify their original diet for a senior chimpanzee. The first video provided meal planning information to add to the knowledge students gained throughout the unit to start the challenge.

In this video, SaM-1 introduces a Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) challenge for the students. This video provides meal planning information to add to the knowledge students gained throughout the unit. Students will be asked to develop a varied diet for a chimpanzee at the CPALMS Rehabilitation and Conservation Center based on the color, shape, texture, and hardness of the food.

In the optional twist, students will need to modify their original diet for a senior chimpanzee. The optional twist also has a SaM-1 video to introduce the twist challenge.

Learn how different-sized fractional parts can represent the same amount of a whole, different-sized fractional parts in different orientations can represent the same amount of a whole, and a number line can be used to represent fractional parts of a whole in this interactive tutorial.
