Included Skills: Fractions
Demonstrate an understanding of fractions by using concrete and pictorial representations to: • create sets of equivalent fractions • compare fractions with like and unlike denominators. • Achievement Indicators • Students who have achieved this outcome(s) should be able to: - Create a set of equivalent fractions and explain why there are many equivalent fractions for any given fraction using concrete materials. - Model and explain that equivalent fractions represent the same quantity. - Determine if two given fractions are equivalent using concrete materials or pictorial representations. - Formulate and verify a rule for developing a set of equivalent fractions. - Identify equivalent fractions for a given fraction. - Compare two given fractions with unlike denominators by creating equivalent fractions. - Position a given set of fractions with like and unlike denominators on a number line and explain strategies used to determine the order.
