Generate simple equivalent fractions by using visual fraction models and the number line.This lesson is adapted from a lesson created by Engage NY: https://www.engageny.org/resource/grade-3-mathematics-module-5-topic-e-lesson-22/file/35446The lesson image is Quarters by luca fruzza from the Noun Project. 

This simple-looking problem reveals much about how well students understand unit fractions as well as representing fractions on a number line.

This interactive demonstration resource defines the term "Fraction" and contains an animation and an interactive to illustrate the definition. Students can enter examples representing part of a set of items or part of a whole.

This lesson is designed to challenge students who demonstrate mastery of understanding fractions as numbers (unit fractions, partitioning…etc.) and a strong understanding of fractions as a number on the number line.  It integrates technology, writing, and mathematics (focus on fractions) through the use of a RAFT writing activity.  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

This lesson is designed to challenge students who demonstrate mastery of understanding fractions as numbers (unit fractions, partitioning…etc.).  After a brief introduction to world flags, students are given the task to explore fractional parts of various flags.  The students are given the opportunity to create their own unique flag while identifying the fractional parts of each color.  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

Students practice working with relationships among fractions and ways of combining fractions. There is a version for two people to practice.

Sample Learning Goals
Find matching fractions using numbers and pictures
Make the same fractions using different numbers
Match fractions in different picture patterns
Compare fractions using numbers and patterns

In this lesson, students will understand how fractions are partitioned from a whole, and how to place fractions on a number line.

Sample Learning Goals
Make equivalent fractions using different numbers
Match fractions in different picture patterns
Compare fractions on a number line

Sample Learning Goals
Predict and explain how changing the numerator of a fraction affects the fraction's value
Predict and explain how changing the denominator of a fraction affects the fraction's value
Convert between a picture of a fraction, a numeric fraction, and a point on a number line
Build matching fractions using numbers and pictures
Compare fractions using numbers and patterns

This lesson is for grade 3 on math. At Home Learning Lessons are a partnership between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, PBS North Carolina, and the William and Ida Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. Each lesson contains a video instructional lesson, a PDF lesson plan with a transcript, and a PDF file of extension activities.

In this lesson students interpret fractions in which the denominator describes the number of equal parts and the numerator describes how many of those parts one has. They are also introduced to naming equivalent fractions by dividing a circle.

In this number line task students must treat the interval from 0 to 1 as a whole, partition the whole into the appropriate number of equal sized parts, and then locate the fraction(s).

Sample Learning Goals
Predict and explain how changing the numerator of a fraction affects the fraction's value
Predict and explain how changing the denominator of a fraction affects the fraction's value
Convert between a picture of a fraction, an improper fraction, and a mixed number
Build matching fractions using numbers and pictures
