This lesson is Day 10 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson serves as a review of equpartitioning in order to determine the fractional part of an area or length. This is a necessary foundational skill for comparing and finding equivalent fractions.

This lesson will help students identify the various uses of language and understand their appropriateness within context. Students participate in journal writing as well as writing literacy narratives describing multiple uses of language. The lesson is designed to accompany a ready of "Mother Tongue"; however, the lesson may be used in conjunction with a study of other writings in English by authors who write or speak English as a second language.

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).

In this lesson, students create a "train" (or row) of shapes. Each shape in the row must have one attribute in common with the shapes on either side.

This article provides an overview of the free online tool VoiceThread and discusses how elementary teachers might use it in language arts and science classes. Resources provided.
