Attention Getting Question: Have you ever decomposed fractions? Introduction: Fractions help us determine the number of equal parts that make up a whole. Fractions are also useful when creating fair portions. In order to make fair portions, we can use fraction decomposition. When something decomposes, it separates into smaller parts. Decomposing fractions is how we break down fractions into multiple parts that, when added, make the original fraction. Fractions do not have to decompose into equal

Attention Getting Question: Have you ever tried to divide a four-digit number? Introduction: When we divide numbers, we determine how many equally sized groups are contained in the number being split. We represent division using either a division bar or a division sign. The number being divided is called the dividend, and the number we are dividing by, or the number of groups we want to have, is the divisor. Subject: Imagine your best friend just moved far away. Your parents tell you they will

Attention Getting Question: Have you ever found equivalent fractions? Introduction: When something is equivalent, we can say that what is being compared has the same value. For instance, eight minus three is equivalent to five. Even though eight minus three looks different from five, we know that after performing the operation of subtraction, our answer will be five. Remember, fractions tell us the number of equal parts that make a whole. Fractions are equivalent when they represent the same am

Attention Getting Question: Have you ever tried to divide a four-digit number that does not divide evenly? Introduction: Division allows us to determine the number of equal sized groups will make up the number being split. For instance, six divided by two will yield three. This means that either there are two groups of three items or three groups of two items. To refresh your memory, the dividend is the number being divided and the divisor is what we are dividing by. The quotient is the result o
