Accessibility suggestions: Go to your device “Settings” where you can adjust the screen’s:

brightness and color, size of text, resolution, connect to wireless display and adjust sound.

A media player for wav or m4a files is required to listen to audio links.

Students with Learning Disabilities require the use of handouts and visual aids,

word processor with spell-checker and/or voice output to provide auditory feedback.

Concise oral instructions should be presented in more than one way.

This educational resource pack includes:

Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.

1. Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.

2. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.

3. Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.

a. Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts
referring to the same whole.

b. Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more
than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation.

Justify decompositions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Examples: 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 ; 3/8 = 1/8 + 2/8 ; 2 1/8 = 1 + 1 + 1/8 = 8/8 + 8/8 + 1/8.

c. Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each
mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of
operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

d. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to
the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction
models and equations to represent the problem.

4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by
a whole number.

a. Understand a fraction a/b as a multiple of 1/b.

For example, use a visual fraction model to represent 5/4 as the product 5 × (1/4),
recording the conclusion by the equation 5/4 = 5 × (1/4).

b.  Understand a multiple of a/b as a multiple of 1/b, and use this understanding to
multiply a fraction by a whole number.

For example, use a visual fraction model to express 3 × (2/5) as 6 × (1/5),
recognizing this product as 6/5. (In general, n × (a/b) = (n × a)/b.)

c. Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number,
e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

For example, if each person at a party will eat 3/8 of a pound of roast beef, and
there will be 5 people at the party, how many pounds of roast beef will be
needed? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.

5. Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100.2 For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100.

6. Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.

7. Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
