In this lesson students explore the multiplicaton of fractions by whole numbers in the context of making blueberry pancakes.
In this lesson students explore the multiplicaton of fractions by whole numbers in the context of making cakes.
In this lesson students explore equivalent fractions and joining/adding fractions.
In this lesson, students are given an order for cookies with a variety of toppings. Students will add fractions to create the cookies and fulfill the order.
In this task, students apply their understanding of unit fractions to a real-world context by decomposing twelfths in a variety of ways.
In this lesson, students compose fractions out of parts and explore the addition of fractions by creating candy bars with connecting cubes.
In this lesson, students will solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction and a whole number using models, length models, and both addition and multiplication equations. They will then do a gallery walk and critique others’ reasoning.
In this lesson students use pattern blocks to explore and solve tasks involving the multiplication of fractions by a whole number.
In this lesson students will multiply fractions by a whole number in order to determine how much of each ingredient is needed to make pancakes.
In this lesson, students explore partitioning into fractional parts by dividing sandwiches among different sized groups of students. During exploration, students consider different ways that sandwiches can be decomposed so that children in the groups have an equal amount. Students compare the amounts of sandwiches each person gets and explore equality among fractions through class discussion.
In this lesson, students will play a game to practice adding and comparing fractions.
In this lesson students play a game involving the subtraction of fractions.
In this lesson students decompose, add, and subtraction fractions with a focus on unit fractions.
In these two lessons students explore fractions of a set where they multiply a whole number by a fraction.
Students build hexagons which represent 1 whole by joining fractions and their equivalence.
In this lesson, students are identifying fractions in their environment. It is suggested that this lesson is done at the beginning of the fraction unit.
In this lesson students explore equivalent fractions using various representations.
In this lesson, students play a game in which they try to cover up hexagons using pattern block pieces. They use equivalent fractions to make exchanges and represent the compositions with equations.
In this lesson students explore equivalent fractions on the number line.
Students use various representations to compare fractions with the same denominators.
