This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson encourages students to reason about and visualize fractions. The lesson focuses on the ideas that fractions are fair shares and that fractions can be compared. This lesson assumes that students have some initial experiences with fractions.

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

This video lesson uses paper folding to introduce the concept of equivalent fractions. To complete this lesson, make sure you have a square piece of paper (any size) and a crayon

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

This lesson focuses on measuring lengths to the nearest fourth of a inch, and discusses when it's necessary to find a precise measurement versus an estimate.

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 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 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 short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about determining less than or greater than values of a decimal.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing fractions by fractions.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing whole numbers by fractions.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing whole numbers by mixed numbers.

This task requires students to recognize both "number of groups unknown" and "group size unknown" division problems in the context of a whole number divided by a unit fraction.

Students will use dominoes to learn how to represent a graphical model for adding unlike fractions.

One goal of this task is to help students develop comfort and ease with adding fractions with unlike denominators. Another goal is to help them develop fraction number sense by having students decompose fractions. Because the Egyptians represented fractions differently than we do, it can also help students understand that there can be many ways of representing the same number.

The math learning center is an app and online platform that allows students to use manipulatives virtually. In this activity, students will show equivalent fractions using lines and shapes.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example.
