This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson introduces the idea that fractions can be used to represent 1 whole. To engage in this lesson, students may use virtual circle models from Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-circles/)

This lesson is Day 3 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This video lesson explores the use of appropriate units for measuring length. Additionally, students will be asked to solve single-step problems involving lengths of distances. No materials are needed for this lesson.

This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This video lesson introduces U.S. customary units for measuring capacity (cups, pints, quarts, and gallons). Students examine benchmarks for each unit, and then apply their knowledge of capacity to make lava lamps. To make a lava lamp, students will need: 1 quart-size empty water bottle, 2 cups vegetable oil, 1 cup water, food coloring, 1 alka-seltzer tablet. (All measurements are approximate and may be adjusted based on the capacity of the water bottle).

This lesson is Day 4 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson looks at how we use fractions in the kitchen. Students are challenged to use circle models to find equivalent fractions for a recipe. Students may use virtual circe models from the Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-circles/).

This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This game may be played with one or two people. It reviews fractions on a number line, adding fraction with like denominators, and equivalent fractions. For an extra challenge, you can even break up your moves across multiple tracks (e.g., if your card reads 1/2, you could move 1/4 and 2/8).

This lesson is Day 5 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

In this video lesson, students learn the difference between weight and capacity as they observe a cookie recipe being made. No materials are needed for this lesson.

This lesson is Day 6 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson teaches students how to create bar models to compare lengths/distances. Students will need a piece of paper, ruler, scissors, and a pencil. These bar models will also be used for Day 7's lesson.

This video lesson introduces the idea that when comparing two fractions, they must refer to the same size whole. Then, students use fraction strips to compare fractions. Students may use virtual fraction strips from Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-strips/)

This lesson is Day 8 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson introduces the number as a tool for representing and comparing fractions. Students will need a black piece of a paper and a pencil with a good eraser.

This lesson is Day 9 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson introduces students to fractions beyond 1 using a choral counting routine. Students connect the fractions to points on a number line and bar models. For this lesson, students need a piece of blank paper and a pencil.

This video shows HOW and WHY we can shift decimals to make whole numbers when dividing.

This video shows two different student-generated strategies for solving fair share problems leading to a fraction less than 1. This standard relates to Common Core standard 5.NF.3, and North Carolina standard NC.5.NF.3.

The end of this video helps teachers see how standard NF.3 can be introduced prior to NF.1 (addition/subraction of fractions with unlike denominators).

This video lesson examines the meaning of the equal sign as we work to solve unknowns in multiplication and division equations.

The area model can be used when multiplying any two numbers, including decimals. This video demonstrates how to multiply using the area model when a decimal is involved.
